| SPARK Your Programs to Achieve Excellence |
| Care about student test scores? Concerned about student health and fitness? Now you can have both! The SPARK Programs integrate activity content and instruction with core subjects so students exercise body and mind. Students in SPARK elementary PE did as well or better on the standardized tests scores (Research Quarterly, June 1999). In this dynamic session, attendees will participate in fun activities from SPARK’s elementary physical education curriculum. Academic integration ideas and strategies will be woven throughout the session and lessons promoting academic integration. SPARK makes it easy and fun to maximize outcomes in PE and academics. |
