20 tasks, each one witnessed by the sources that watched the job — and behind every one, a prompt you can use tonight.
You usually start by checking the schedule and email (Microsoft Outlook) and reviewing lesson plans in Word. Mornings often mean teaching classes or workshops, running small-group activities, or leading sport sessions where you apply sport game rules and personalise sports programmes.
Afternoons are for documenting activities and student progress in Excel or Word, meeting colleagues to facilitate teamwork, and preparing PowerPoint slides for the next day. Some days are spent securing resources or testing educational materials rather than direct teaching.
Expect frequent use of Microsoft Word to write lesson plans and reports, Excel to record attendance and progress numbers, Outlook for scheduling, and PowerPoint for presentations. Blackboard or similar learning platforms appear if you teach theoretical instruction online.
Social platforms like Facebook may be used for outreach or promoting health behaviours, but always follow organizational policy on privacy and consent.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 2025 data for the SOC 21-1091.00 group, 65,690 people were employed; the median wage was $64,070 per year. The lowest 10% earned $42,990 and the top 10% earned $118,200.
Pay varies by employer (schools, community centers, private clinics), location, and whether you run your own programmes or supervise staff. Use BLS for national benchmarking.
Employers often look for a degree or certificate in health education, public health, exercise science, or a related field plus coaching or teaching experience. Start with courses that teach assessment processes, designing training programs, and basic sports instruction.
Also learn to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook—these are used daily to document activities, monitor student progress, and run training for new employees.
Yes, AI can help draft lesson outlines, PowerPoint slides, or outreach text for Facebook, but you must check accuracy and privacy. AI can suggest activities for personalised sports programmes or summarize student assessment data, yet never rely on it to replace your professional judgement.
Avoid putting student-identifying data into public AI tools. Review AI outputs for cultural relevance and alignment with your organisation’s values and policies before using them in class or public communications.
Learn to design and document a simple health education session: write the lesson in Word, make a 10-slide PowerPoint, and track attendance and outcomes in Excel. This covers implementing programmes, teaching theoretical instruction, and documenting activities.
Being able to personalise a sports programme and record student progress quickly will let you run sessions, assess outcomes, and improve materials—skills used every day on the job.
