The SPARK Early Childhood Gross Motor Curriculum Training equips early childhood educators with practical strategies for using movement to support children's physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and developmental growth. Through hands-on participation and guided practice, educators learn how to implement the SPARK curriculum to promote balance, coordination, locomotor skills, object-control skills, self-regulation, and school readiness.
Participants will explore how to create safe, inclusive, and engaging movement experiences that align with Indiana Early Learning Standards, Indiana Core Knowledge and Competencies, and Teaching Strategies GOLD objectives. By the end of the training, educators will be prepared to confidently plan, facilitate, observe, and document gross motor learning experiences that support whole-child development.
