Ispod Goals

  • Train all North Carolina physical educators in SPARK
  • Have all physical educators conduct bi-annual FITNESSGRAM testing
  • Educate our legislators of the need to provide the funds to require certified physical educators and required minutes for physical education.
  • Partner with all groups addressing childhood obesity
  • Be a leader in the fight for “Healthier North Carolinians”

NCAAHPERD RECEIVES GRANT

NCAAHPERD is the receipient of a multi-million dollar grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust to meet these goals. Beginning this August 2008, NCAAHPERD will provide ISPOD to twenty-five (25) school districts each year for the next four years. At no charge to the school district, school, or teachers:

  • We will provide the SPARK (Sports, Play and Active Recreation for Kids) curriculum manuals to all physical education teachers in the state. This curriculum is a specialized, research-based physical education program which emphasizes: increased moderate to vigorous physical activity in students; fitness achievement; academic achievement; sport skills development; and enjoyment of physical education to name a few. These curricula are align with the North Carolina Standards as well as the National NASPE and AAHE Standards.
  • We will provide twelve hours of extensive training as well as the appropriate level of the three full curriculum manuals (K-2, 3-6, 7-8) to each trained teacher. The curriculum guides include CD's with lesson plans.
  • We will also provide  complex software, manuals, and training for the Fitnessgram, a program to measure fitness levels, including BMI, and report back to the students’ parents, classroom teacher, school, and district. These data will be collected by NCAAHPERD.
  • Finally, we will select 4 or 6 teachers to become trained SPARK Trainers who can provide instruction for other North Carolina counties thus reducing the cost of bringing trainers in from San Diego, California.
