- A lot of research has been done on physical activity (PA) and academic achievement. Using the SPARK chapter and ONE other peer-reviewed journal article, discuss the correlation between the two (PA and academic achievement). How is this information relevant to you as a future physical educator? If you are not a future PE teacher, how is this information relevant to you, as a current student?

- After focusing on these two pages, as well as the rest of the chapter, discuss how this information resonates with you as a student and an educator.
- In what ways will you implement a fitness-based physical education (PE) environment when you get hired? OR, if you are not a PE major, how do you envision a fitness-based PE environment to look if you went back to Prek-12?
- How will your program look in comparison to the old school, traditional, team sport model? OR, if you are not a PE major, how would you hope this new program would look in comparison to the old school, traditional, team sport model?
