IsPOD, In-school Prevention of Obesity and Disease, is a research-based program designed to reduce disparities related to childhood obesity and chronic disease. Our goal is to train all K-8 Physical Educators in the SPARK curriculum and provide FITNESSGRAM software and training for data collection. IsPOD will consist of two projects: (1) Project SPARK – a research-based physical education/activity and nutrition model that provides a stronger emphasis on physical activity, nutrition, wellness, and weight management skills for grades K to 8 and (2) Project ExPECT will implement a statewide network with partnering colleges and universities to support targeted systems and provide information to future teachers.
