Middle School Physical Education Professional Development & Teacher Training
Bring SPARK to life and ensure program longevity with engaging, personalized trainings! The SPARK Middle School curriculum is a great start – but SPARK is not a book, it’s a program. Over the years, SPARK has tested numerous instructional strategies that are best conveyed during face-to-face training opportunities. The “what to do” (the lesson plans) come alive when the “how to do it” is provided via SPARK training. SPARK workshops are fun and “hands-on”, and teachers are motivated by SPARK’s dynamic and knowledgeable trainers. For more information on Middle School PE Workshops, contact us today!
