- Injury prevention basics (form cues, safe space awareness, pacing and rest)
- Deliver a 10-session fitness course with clear objectives and structured lesson plans
- Maintain safety-first routines, including appropriate warm-ups, cool-downs, and clear movement expectations
- Differentiate activities to support varied fitness levels, confidence, and mobility needs
- Establish positive group management and inclusive participation norms
- Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
- Adapt pacing and activities based on space, equipment availability, and student readiness while maintaining intended outcomes

- Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
- Ability to model and teach safe form cues and maintain an inclusive, supportive environment
