Budget cuts, larger class sizes, fewer faculty, and fewer physical education programs in public schools are causing education departments to reassess how they prepare their teacher candidates. There is one opportunity right in the backyard of many institutions ready to be utilized. The growing homeschool population can provide programs with an opportunity to create authentic K–12 teaching experiences for preservice students right on campus. Furthermore, it can generate revenue and serve as a recruiting tool for future college enrollments. This article discusses the logistics of starting a successful educational program for homeschooling families and shares the steps that one university took to make it happen.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"10 1","pages":"37 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90105311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Departments focusing on kinesiology, physical education, or exercise science have often provided scuba diving lessons as part of their activity-based course offerings. However, few departments have developed an academic scuba diving minor designed to meet the professional needs of students interested in both a scuba-based career and a traditional kinesiology profession. The Department of Kinesiology at Western Illinois University has developed and implemented an academic minor in scuba diving designed to provide unique academic and professional preparation for students interested in diving as a professional career. Students from a variety of academic majors, including kinesiology, are benefitting from courses designed to prepare students scientifically, technically, and academically for future employment in recreational, law-enforcement, and scientific careers utilizing scuba diving skills and techniques. The purpose of this article is to highlight the development and usefulness of this unique program and discuss its significance to an academic department in kinesiology and to the overall professional field.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"2015 1","pages":"12 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82762255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
