Physical Education Assistant

Creating Opportunities for Physical Activity (COPA) is a physical activity and nutrition initiative in seven K-5 elementary schools in Wilmington, CA. COPA works to build a culture of daily physical activity and healthy eating on school campuses and in the surrounding community using a peer coach model. The peer coach model differs from direct service in that all activities are conducted with a focus on training others on how to perform the functions to ensure long-term sustainability.

The PE Assistant is responsible for assisting PE Instructors in delivering a physical activity-based psychomotor program for K-5th grade. The PE Assistant works with 20-35 students at a physical activity station for 10 minutes and then rotates the students to the next station. Station activities can include tag games, jump roping, cooperative games, skill development activities, etc.
