Courses for Coaches and Physical Educators

Drake University Extension Education offers video correspondent courses for coaches and physical educators seeking graduate level credit. Nationally-renown coaches, top physical educators, and professional athletes lend their expertise to the video to bring real-world perspectives.

Enrollment in these video courses may be used for:

• Renewal of teaching certificates.
• Advancement on local salary schedules.
• Elective credits on graduate degree programs.
• Personal growth and development.
• Renewal of coaching activities.

(For information pertaining to certification or credit, check with your advisor or local guidelines as applicable.)

Those who enroll will receive a Study Guide with readings and activities that expand concepts presented. There are no tests or final papers. Instead, there are application assignments for each segment that require you to summarize, design a plan or demonstrate comprehension of a new idea.
