What does a Physical Educator do?
[|Physical Education] Physical Education is the study and practice of recreational activities, physical fitness, healthy lifestyle issues, and sports and interpersonal skills.

A Physical Education (PE) professional may be a teacher, a trainer, a sports specialist or scientist whose primary responsibilities address health and physical fitness. PE teachers lead or coach students in sports and recreational activities, often with an emphasis on developing life-long leisure skills that will promote healthy lifestyles and physical fitness.

The most familiar PE professional is the PE teacher who serves at the secondary school. PE teachers are usually qualified to teach at least one other subject or coach a specific sports team or perform guidance counselor services as part of their working contract. While specialists have different work requirements, common tasks are noted here.

The primary task of the PE teacher is teaching. This is accomplished by preparing a sequential year-long program of learning experiences designed to link physical activities with health and fitness and to promote and develop healthy life-long leisure skills and interests. Instruction includes the basic techniques and skills of team and individual sports, track and field, gymnastics, aquatics and a variety of recreational activities. Maintaining a safe learning atmosphere and environment facilitates teaching students about safety in such areas as swimming pools, athletic fields, gymnasiums.

Students often learn about community and personal health issues including nutrition, sexuality, drug use and HIV/AIDS from their health and PE teachers as a part of their planned curriculum.

PE professionals are often responsible for leading and coordinating special events, sports programs and special seminars or study days on pertinent health issues such as stress management or sexually transmitted diseases.
