Lead Healthy and Active Schools

Are you a teaching professional with a demanding schedule, who needs to balance work and family with higher education? The Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) degree is offered fully online and is a part-time program for teachers seeking professional development and career advancement. Skills you will learn include: designing and implementing comprehensive school activity programs; creating evidence-based curriculum and instructional models in physical education and sport; integrating instructional technology in the gymnasium, classroom and sports arena; and implementing physical activity programs for school-aged children.

The curriculum is aligned with advanced teaching standards (Professional Knowledge, Practice and Leadership) established by the Society for Health and Physical Educators.

The online courses in this program are taught by faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized leaders in their fields. This is a non-licensure program in West Virginia, however, and does not provide initial teaching certification in physical education as it is based on national advanced teaching standards. Prior to enrolling in this program, students who are seeking a pathway to an initial teaching license are encouraged to check with their state departments of education to see if the plan of study meets their requirements for an alternative certification pathway (see the WVDE Alternative Certification Program as an example).

Student Testimonials

Courtney hudnall.

"Being that I am a PE teacher, I felt that this would increase my knowledge and help me to become a better PE teacher. They helped me in so many ways."

"I chose teaching because I wanted to do something that would have an impact on others while also doing the things I love. I love athletics. I also had an amazing PE teacher in elementary school who, to this day, is one of my role models,” Hudnall said. “So, when choosing a career, teaching PE seemed like a no-brainer. It has been so rewarding and worthwhile."

Hudnall was interested in earning a master's degree and discovered that WVU had an online Physical Education Teacher Education program.

While in the program, Hudnall says that each CPASS faculty member supported her success.

"They helped me in so many ways. They all were extremely easy to talk to and immensely helpful. Sean Bulger was one faculty member who I reached out to for a letter of recommendation," she said. "He was one professor who I would email about any uncertainty or advice with assignments or the program."

"As a faculty we are extremely proud of Courtney and this significant professional accomplishment. It was clear from her first day in the program that Courtney excelled at the fundamentals of effective instruction, while also demonstrating an innovative orientation as a teacher-leader in her school," Bulger, professor and associate dean for graduate and online education, said. "Our priority is that our graduate students can take and apply the knowledge and skills developed across the curriculum back to their local K-12 schools for the benefit of the learners in their classrooms. Courtney exemplifies that approach."

Hudnall, from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., explains a typical day at school.

"I arrive at 7:15 a.m. to prep the gymnasium for an exciting lesson and greet students in the hall. My first class starts at 8 a.m. I take attendance, we do warm up laps to music and play a high energy game to get the heart pumping,” she said. “Then we get into the lesson/skill that I am teaching. I instruct K-5 all day for 45 minutes each, with my last class ending at 2:45."

Hudnall suggests that if incoming students are uncertain about whether to enroll in the PETE online program, they should take the leap.

"I learned so much. I was able to incorporate things I learned right away. The professors are extremely helpful and want to see that you have an understanding and succeed," she said.

As a true supporter of sports, Hudnall says that she is a huge soccer fan.

"WVU Women’s Soccer team is my favorite."

Hudnall was nominated for the award by school staff. After reviewing applications, the Board of Education selected winners for Elementary Teacher of the Year, Secondary Teacher of the Year and an overall Greenbrier County Teacher of the Year. Hudnall plans to submit additional information to be considered for the West Virginia Teacher of the Year award.

Master of arts in curriculum & teaching in physical education.

The Master of Arts programs in Curriculum & Teaching in Physical Education will not be accepting applications for the 2023 cycle. Please check back for more information.

Our M.A. in Curriculum & Teaching in Physical Education focuses on the area of movement sciences called physical education and culture.

Our work examines how sociocultural, political, and economic forces have an impact on the body, school PE, physical activity, fitness, and health. In today’s context of public health, we are particularly interested in understanding how health disparities, structural inequalities, and the materiality of the socio-educational and economic resources young people have access to in the local community contexts of their daily lives inform their physicality development and health.

More about Physical Culture

Physical culture is about body movement and performance in spaces such as PPE class, sport, health/fitness, dance and more.

Physical Cultural Studies (PCS) encompasses the diversely focused field of scholarly work which is united by a commitment toward engaging varied dimensions or expressions of (in)active bodies or physical culture (Andrews & Silk, 2011). In this physical culture is understood as “cultural practices in which the physical body – the way it moves, is represented, has meanings assigned to it, and is imbued with power – is central” (Vertinsky, quoted in Silk & Andrews, 2011) Physical Cultural Studies is closely related to the fields of sport sociology, cultural studies, sociology of the body, body culture studies, queer studies and disability studies.

Choosing the Right Physical Therapy Program: What to Look For

Pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree is a significant commitment. Understanding what to look for in a DPT program and selecting a PT school is crucial, as the quality and fit of the program can greatly influence an educational experience and future career. Becoming a physical therapist typically spans about seven years—four years to complete an undergraduate degree and three years for the DPT program with some schools offering accelerated options. Understanding key considerations when choosing a DPT program can help you make an informed decision that aligns with your career goals.

Accreditation

The first and perhaps most critical factor to consider with a doctor of physical therapy degree is accreditation. A DPT program must be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). Accreditation ensures the program meets specific educational standards necessary for graduates to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) and obtain licensure.

Curriculum and Clinical Education

A well-rounded curriculum is essential for a comprehensive education in physical therapy. Prospective students should look for programs that offer:

• A Balance of Theory and Practice: The curriculum should cover foundational sciences, clinical reasoning, and hands-on clinical skills.
• Innovative Teaching Methods : Look for programs that incorporate simulation, case-based learning, and interprofessional education.
• Diverse Clinical Rotations : Clinical education should offer a variety of settings and specialties, allowing students to gain broad exposure to different aspects of physical therapy.

Faculty Expertise

The faculty's experience and credentials play a pivotal role in the quality of education a program offers. Seek out programs with faculty who are not only academically qualified but also actively involved in clinical practice, research, and professional advocacy. Faculty with a wide range of specialties can provide deeper insights and mentorship in specific areas of interest.

Research Opportunities

Engagement in research is a key component of a comprehensive DPT education. Prospective students should consider whether a program offers:

• Access to Research Facilities: Look for programs with modern laboratories and resources for student research projects.
• Faculty-mentored Research: Opportunities to work alongside faculty on research projects can enhance learning and professional development.
• Integration with Curriculum: Programs that incorporate evidence-based practice into their curriculum helping students stay at the forefront of their field.

Student Support and Outcomes

A supportive learning environment can contribute significantly to your success. Important factors include:

• Academic Support Services : Tutoring, writing assistance, and other academic support services can help students thrive.
• Optimal Faculty to student ratio : Faculty actively involved in classroom teaching, student advising, and student support infrastructure.
• Graduation and Licensure Rates : High pass rates on the licensure exam and strong graduation rates are indicators of a program's effectiveness.

Alumni Network and Career Services

A robust alumni network and active career services can greatly enhance job prospects post-graduation. Investigate the program's connections with local and national healthcare networks, as well as the support provided for job placement and career development .

As a graduate school affiliate of Mass General Brigham, one of the nation's leading healthcare systems, MGH Institute of Health Professions offers a DPT program that offers the important factors in physical therapy education mentioned above. Key features of the MGH IHP's PT program include:

• Interprofessional Education : Students engage in learning alongside peers from nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, physician assistant studies, and genetic counseling programs, preparing them for collaborative practice .
• State-of-the-Art Facilities : The program boasts cutting-edge simulation labs, skills labs, clinical partnerships, onsite clinical practice center , and research facilities.
• Dedicated Faculty : Faculty members are recognized leaders in physical therapy, providing expert mentorship and instruction that work with lab instructors who are clinical experts in different specialty areas.
• Strong Outcomes : The program is consistently ranked as one of the best programs in the country and achieves high graduation and employment rates, underscoring the effectiveness of its curriculum and student preparation.

Choosing the right Doctor of Physical Therapy degree program is a crucial step for your career. By carefully considering factors such as accreditation, curriculum, faculty expertise, and student support, you can find a program that not only meets educational needs but also sets the stage for a successful career in physical therapy.

The 8 jobs that pay the most in Decatur, Illinois if you have a graduate degree

Posted: April 16, 2024 | Last updated: April 16, 2024

Highest paying jobs in Decatur, Illinois that require a graduate degree

Education pays.

At least, that's what  Bureau of Labor Statistics data  shows. Higher degree holders earn more and experience lower unemployment rates than those without degrees or with lesser degrees. On a weekly basis, master's degree holders earn over $500 more than the median for all U.S. workers over age 25, and doctoral degree holders earn about $850 more than that median. Professional degree holders like doctors, lawyers, and veterinarians earn even more, at nearly $870 more than the median.

However, advanced degrees often cost significant funds to obtain. A year of graduate tuition and fees  cost about $19,750  for the 2020-21 academic year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The average at private institutions was even more, at $26,620 per year. Some programs offer assistantships or fellowships that offset those costs, but many students will be on the hook for paying or borrowing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Other data from the center, released in July 2023, shows that  nearly 3 in 4 graduate students received financial aid  in the 2019-20 academic year, in amounts averaging about $25,300.

The catch? Much of the aid doled out to graduate students is in loans. Graduate students who took out loans averaged $26,000, compared to an average of $11,300 in grant funds among recipients. A  Center for American Progress analysis  found that graduate debt rose from 2010-11 to 2017-18 while undergraduate debt fell, and the share of student debt accumulated by graduate students rose to 40%.

Is the higher pay worth the cost? That's up to prospective graduate students to decide. Using  Bureau of Labor Statistics data ,  Stacker  compiled a list of the highest-paying jobs that require a graduate degree in Decatur, painting a clearer picture of the earnings potential. Jobs listed here require a master's, doctorate, or other professional degree and are ranked by their median annual pay as of May 2022. Any jobs without annual compensation figures available were excluded from this analysis.

Read on to see what a graduate degree could earn you in Decatur.
