You need a teaching certificate with a physical education endorsement. Meaning you just take several extra classes in addition to your regular teaching program. Some states make you take a test in your endorsement focus.

Answer 2

A Bachelors of Science degree in Physical Education wfrom an accredited university

Answer 3

In the district where I teach you would need your permanent certification.  You can start with a provisional cert., but you'd need to finish your permanent within two years.

Answer 4

It will depend on your state requirements, so you will want to contact your department of education.  Generally speaking, you will need a bachelor's degree in physical education.

Answer 5

Check with your states Department of Education. Certification varies greatly from state to state - so they will have your answers.

Answer 6

What country are you in?

What state?

Answer 7

To teach p.e. as a discrete subject (as in, teaching p.e. is your only job) then you generally need a certificate or license specifically to teach Physical Education.  But, if you are a general classroom teacher planning to take your students outside or to the gym and teach p.e. as part of their general education, then a general classroom teaching certificate/license is all that is required in my state.
