Physical Education - Grayson County College

Physical Education from Grayson County College is a Campus Associate Sport degree that prepares you for a Education career. Program Description The physical education curriculum at Grayson County College is designed for transfer to four-year institutions. However, all students are advised to counsel with the university/college of their choice to determine if all courses recommended by Grayson County College are applicable to that institution's bachelor's degree . Job Outlook Employment of preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers is expected to grow by 12 percent between 2006 and 2016, about as fast as the average for all occupations. However, because of the size of the occupations in this group, this growth will create 479,000 additional teacher positions, more than all but a few occupations. Through 2016, overall student enrollments in elementary, middle, and secondary schools?a key factor in the demand for teachers?are expected to rise more slowly than in the past as children of the baby boom generation leave the school system. This will cause employment of teachers from kindergarten through the secondary grades to grow as fast as the average. Projected enrollments will vary by region. Fast-growing States in the South and West?led by Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia?will experience the largest enrollment increases. Enrollments in the Midwest are expected to hold relatively steady, while those in the Northeast are expected to decline. Teachers who are geographically mobile and who obtain licensure in more than one subject should have a distinct advantage in finding a job. Job opportunities for teachers over the next 10 years will vary from good to excellent, depending on the locality, grade level, and subject taught. Most job openings will result from the need to replace the large number of teachers who are expected to retire over the 2006-16 period. Also, many beginning teachers decide to leave teaching for other careers after a year or two?especially those employed in poor, urban schools?creating additional job openings for teachers. Persons who are State-certified to teach academic subjects in addition to physical education are likely to have the best prospects for obtaining coaching and instructor jobs. The need to replace the many high school coaches who change occupations or leave the labor force entirely also will provide some coaching opportunities. View more details on Grayson County College .
