| Issues in Staff Development: Adoption of Evidence-Based Physical Education |
| Staff development is essential to the continued development of physical educators. Health-related physical education (HRPE) programs have been developed and studied (i.e., evidence-based) in an effort to reduce sedentary living, but are not widely adopted. This session describes (a) background on HRPE and research on one program [SPARK-Sports, Play, and Active Recreation for Kids], (b) marketing efforts to disseminate that program nationally, and (c) teacher and principal perceptions related to the adoption of evidence-based programs. |
