I. Detailed explanation of changes (use FROM/TO format)

FROM

A. There are currently two courses, 448-468 and 448-469, and each course is 1 credit. Both courses are

required of individuals who are not licensed to teach but wish to coach in Wisconsin. The course

currently gives ASEP (American Sport Education Program) and NFICEP (National Federation

Interscholastic Coaches Education Program) certification.

TO

The two courses will be combined into one course and titled WIAA Coaching Certification: Coaching Principles

and Sport First Aid.

A. The ASEP and NFICEP is being dropped because the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, the

organization that certifies coaches in Wisconsin, does not require the ASEP/NFICEP certification if

students take a college course that covers the needed coaching content. The proposed course content

meets the requirements of the WIAA. In addition, the elimination of the ASEP/NFICEP certification

saves students approximately $120 for materials associated with certification. If students wish to

pursue the ASEP/NFICEP certification the instructors of the course could arrange for this option

within the revised configuration of the course.

B. The courses are being combined because both courses are required for WIAA coaching certification.

The combined course format better assures that students will have all the coaching knowledge needed

to be certified to coach.

C. The course is being increased to 3 credits because all phases of Coaching Education and Sport First

Aid must be covered for certification from the WIAA and that cannot be done adequately within the

current two credit format. The Sport First Aid content will continue as it is currently offered but the

content area in Coaching Principles has been increased.

D. The course number has been changed to the 100 level since this course is the only course in the

coaching minor curriculum that includes all facets of coaching education. This course should be

the one selected by students if they are only going to take one course in coaching education.

II. Justification for action

A. The Coaching Principles content cannot be covered in a one-credit course.

B. The ASEP (American Sport Education Program) and NFICEP (National Federation Interscholastic

Coaches Education Program) is being dropped from the title because the Wisconsin Interscholastic

Athletic Association does not require the certification if the college course covers all the needed

coaching content. Frank McCormick, WIAA, has approved the proposed course, as meeting the

needed course content for coaching certification. WIAA Coaching Certification is being added to

the title.

C. 448-469, Coaching Principles, and 448-468, Sport First Aid, are being combined into one course

since Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid are both required for coaching certification.

D. The new number for the course will be 448-100. The new number better reflects the lower

division nature of the course.
