WELLNESS IN THE SCHOOLS

creating healthier places in which to learn

Training Program


Prior to being placed in a school, our WITS Coaches engage in a 2-week training program that includes the following:

  • School Expectations and Protocols
  • Child Development
  • Behavior Management
  • Recess Activities and Games (based primarily on Playworks curriculum)
  • Observation and Recording
  • WITS Coach for Kids Toolkit
 
"One of our priorities is to provide our students with opportunities to learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle, particularly through physical activity. That is why I was so happy to learn about Wellness in the Schools and their “Coach for Kids” model of providing activity coaches during the school day. Our schools are very excited to have a WITS coach and can’t wait to begin. "
