Renewable Resources & Environment: Teach environmental stewardship through active outdoor learning, leave-no-trace outdoor games, and eco-friendly physical health practices.
Collaborate with classroom teachers and specialists to create cross-curricular connections between physical education and the FARE themes.

3. Assessment & Classroom Management

Maintain an organized, high-energy, safe, and positive environment in the gymnasium, outdoor athletic fields, and play areas.
Implement proactive behavior management strategies that support character development, social-emotional learning (SEL), and conflict resolution.
Routinely assess student progress in motor skill competency, fitness awareness, and cooperative play using formal and informal methods.

4. School Culture & Community Engagement

Organize and lead school-wide active events such as Field Day, active harvest/mileage clubs, or seasonal outdoor fitness challenges.
Ensure all PE equipment, storage areas, and activity spaces are clean, safe, and regularly inspected.
Participate actively in staff meetings, professional development, and school community events.

Qualifications & Requirements

Required Education & State Certification

Safety: Valid First Aid and CPR/AED Certification (or willingness to obtain prior to employment start date).

Interest, background, or enthusiasm for incorporating agriculture, nutrition, outdoor education, or environmental science into movement-based learning.
