Hiring Requirements

 Applicants should have licensure in Health and Physical Education. This can occur through completion of an academic program at a university. Virginia State has reciprocity with many other States so that your licensure can be transferred. 

Ideally, the program is seeking individuals with a bachelor degree in health and physical education and master degree in adapted physical education, but it is not required. 

Those who lack the health and/or physical education components or have teaching licensure in a different area can take and pass the Praxis 5857 (health and physical education) test.
