Thanks. You needn’t have posted the specs.


So you’re a PE teacher teaching health to 9th graders. And you do teach abstinence.

Do you have any background in biological sciences, beyond whatever couple credit hours you might’ve had to take to be a PE teacher?

Yes, I teach what the state standards are. My undergraduate degrees were History/Political Science from UNC. I taught World History for several years prior to moving to Health and PE which was more conducive to the amount of coaching I was doing. I did complete my M.Ed. in Physical Education online through University of Arkansas.

So that’s a no, you don’t have any training in human biology/biological sciences.

Thanks.

The M.Ed was mostly Biomechanics and Sports Movement to go with some educational psychology. I did do the courses to get AP certified to teach AP Psychology, so I teach a section of that here and there when needed. But correct, outside of my Undergrad Biology course for non science majors, and some basic biology contained in parts of masters program, no, I do not have coursework in that area.

Do you think it might be good to brush up on that stuff at some point? Perhaps then you’d understand more about the difference between gender and sex, which would likely make you a better health teacher.
