Part 14 - COMPETENCIES FOR ENTRY-LEVEL PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS
Section 6.64.14.6 - OBJECTIVE

This rule establishes entry-level competencies that are based on what beginning physical education teachers must know and be able to do to provide effective physical education programs in New Mexico schools. The competencies were developed to ensure alignment with the New Mexico's content standards and benchmarks, the 1999 initial physical education standards of the national council for accreditation of teacher education (NCATE), and the national standards of the American alliance for health, physical education, recreation, and dance and must be used by New Mexico institutions of higher education to establish physical education preparatory programs.
