New degree announced Advanced Education Minister Murray Coell formally announced the approval of the new Bachelor of Physical Education and Coaching (BPEC) degree on March 19. Developed in consultation with expert teachers and coaches, students will be prepared to teach, BPEC coach or work in the public school system or the coaching field. Students are also required to complete practical work experiences - from their first term to their last - in the form of fieldwork placements. BPEC is built on the reputation of Douglas College's sport science, coaching and physical education instruction program and most notably the Post-Degree Diploma in Physical Education. “Quality PE instruction is critical for developing healthy habits in children,” says Brian Storey, BPEC Coordinator. “Through fieldwork and practical experience throughout their degree, BPEC students will develop the proven techniques teachers and coaches need today to actively involve students of all abilities.” Responding to a growing need for trained practitioners who can make a difference in children’s health and wellness, the program offers two streams of study: Elementary (grades K-7) or Secondary (grades 8-12). The Bachelor of Physical Education and Coaching program begins in September and is currently accepting applications.
