The IsPOD Initiative
IsPOD is NCAAHPERD's flagship initiative in the fight against childhood obesity in North Carolina. Before the obesity epidemic entered the current public zeitgeist, NCAAHPERD recognized the trend and developed a multi-tiered strategy to combat the issue.

Don’t miss one of your last chances to receive FREE training in the SPARK curricula sponsored by NCAAHPERD’s IsPOD initiative.
In an effort to make this training available to as many NC PE teachers as possible, we are hosting regional sessions across the state. We selected sites convenient to most areas of the state, so there should be a training event not far from you!
Each host location will conduct two sessions: one for middle school PE teachers and another for elementary PE teachers. (The elementary session will cover both the K-2 and 3-6 curricula.)
Training is FREE! And if you’ve not attended SPARK training in the past, NCAAHPERD will reimburse the cost of your sub.
Already attended SPARK training previously? Even if you have attended SPARK training in the past, you may attend a session to review the SPARK curriculum. There’s no fee to attend the training. However, priority will be given to teachers who have not previously attended. Sub reimbursement is not available to teachers attending a session for a second time.
