Topic: Coaching Outside of the Classroom
Short Description:
Many middle and high school athletic coaches are also teachers within their schools. Many played a sport and are returning to the field in a different capacity. Much of their undergraduate teaching program has focused how to be educators in the classroom, but not to be coaches out on the field. Coaching is very different and this course will help those who want to coach make that transition.
