more MVPA vs. control classes
SPARK PE is built on three decades of federally funded research. SPARK curriculum is rigorously tested in real classrooms and proven to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for all students — regardless of fitness level.
Each SPARK PE program is purpose-built to be developmentally appropriate, standards-aligned, and ready to use on day one.
Grades K–2Build motor skills and a love of movement from the very start. The SPARK K-2 program uses activity-based, cooperative learning to develop fundamental movement patterns in young learners.
Grades 3–6Deepen sport-skill progressions and introduce fitness education. SPARK 3-6 builds a foundation for lifelong activity with standards-aligned units covering a wide range of sports and fitness concepts.
Grades 6–8Guide young adolescents through diverse lifetime activity units that build competence and confidence. SPARK Middle School PE bridges the gap between foundational skills and meaningful sport participation.
Grades 9–12Empower students to own their fitness journey. The SPARK High School program emphasizes health-enhancing physical activity, personal fitness planning, and skills students will carry for life.
Teachers and administrators across the country share why SPARK makes a difference in their schools.
I've been using SPARK PE with my teachers for more than a decade. The lessons help get teachers on the same page within a district so that students are receiving the same competencies across schools. It offers common academic language and sound lesson structure and assessments aligned to national and state standards. It is a go-to resource when revising K-12 curriculum.
