As a requirement of this elective, teacher candidates must complete a minimum of six hours as a volunteer/coach in one of their field placement schools. During the classroom component, teacher candidates will develop an understanding of the variety of co-curricular activities and the responsibilities associated with coaching/leadership. To develop a better appreciation of the complexities of organizing student activities, candidates will also have the opportunity to tour and survey the facilities within a secondary school.
