This webinar will share details about the SPARK Equity Awards. Funding is available to bring SPARK (curriculum, training, and equipment) to organizations and individual PE teachers or physical activity providers who serve in low-income communities. This funding was established by Dr. Thom McKenzie and Dr. Jim Sallis – the two principal investigators who started SPARK in 1989. These awards are offered through the School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences of San Diego State University.
Jeff Mushkin was first exposed to SPARK in 2004 while working for Shasta County Public Health Department in California. He became a SPARK trainer in 2005 and oversaw the SPARK Community Grant Program for Shasta County until 2007 when he joined the SPARK team. Jeff has spent the past 12+ years in SPARK curriculum design, professional development, and equipment selection. Jeff has a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education, a master’s degree in Public Health, and over 20 years of experience in physical education, health, and nutrition.
