What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sports Activity Specialist: 2024-2025 position at East Harlem Tutorial Program?
About the Opportunity
We believe that great educational professionals make a difference for our students; without this, a school or program cannot succeed. A Sports Activity Specialist engages scholars in a variety of traditional sports, obstacle courses, and other specialized activities. They foster creativity and skill mastery through interactive sessions. Activity Specialists should have experience adapting to spaces that may not have traditional sports facilities or equipment. This specialist cultivates an inclusive environment where scholars explore and excel in sports through hands-on, project-based learning approaches.
We are a K-8 program, and while we will consider your preferences for placements, our Activity Specialists need to be willing and happy to work with any age range. This is to ensure that every student engages meaningfully throughout the school year. Additionally, you’ll lead weekly activities tailored to each grade level and inspire creativity in every classroom you're assigned to.
Ultimately, as an Activity Specialist, you play a critical role in ensuring our scholars grow and have a positive learning experience.
