Why did Fort Worth Independent School District Choose SPARK?

Why did you choose SPARK?  “We chose SPARK through a very thorough and rigorous physical education curriculum/resource tool. Several curriculums and resources were reviewed by physical education experts, high-quality instructors, district leaders.  Extremely important to have a curriculum/resource that met our high standards and had evidence to support its alignment to national evidence-based standards, PECAT, inclusivity, impact on fitness and skill development, etc. “

What are teachers enjoying the most about the SPARK program?  “Tools and resources ready to go, signage, binder and platform have wealth of information…”

CATCH’s Roots and History in Texas

CATCH is proud to be a Texas Education Agency-approved Coordinated School Health program, and the only one that also meets health & physical education K-8 TEKS (excludes Reproductive Health), making CATCH the only one-stop-shop for K-8 schools . With a 30+ year track record of success in the Lone Star State – and as a Texas-based organization – CATCH has helped districts of all shapes and sizes not only meet TEA requirements, but change the lives of their students for the better. More than 50% of schools across Texas use one or more CATCH school health programs.

What sets us apart is our unique Coordination Kit resource and Whole Child Leadership training. These best-in-class offerings provide school wellness champions and teams with the skills, knowledge, confidence, and resources needed to build and sustain a culture of health at their campus.

In addition to our one-of-a-kind Coordination Kit, CATCH includes a family of coordinated instructional resources to support the development of the Whole Child. Take a look at our Curriculum Map to see how the pieces fit together.

The school health program’s success is based on a simple truth: when you change the environment, behavior will follow.

Schools implementing CATCH benefit from the following:

• A coordinated framework to help organize the wellness team’s efforts
• A common language for talking about & reinforcing healthy behaviors and mindsets
• Ready-made resources for implementing regular & coordinated campus-wide health promotion
• Embedded campus-wide anchor activities for Social & Emotional Learning (SEL)

In addition to its one-of-a-kind Coordination Kit, CATCH includes a family of coordinated instructional resources to support the development of the Whole Child.

Program Characteristics

• Focus on student empowerment and intrinsic decision making
• Consistent approach across programs (Knowledge + Skill + Environment)
• Common “language of CATCH” across programs
• SEL anchor activities and prompts
• Integration of physical activity and health lessons
• Family components & resources

Beyond “evidence informed,” CATCH is truly evidence- based , and has been proven in peer-reviewed studies to:

• Increase daily physical activity;
• Reduce daily energy intake from fat;
• Drive healthy behavior changes that persist 3 years post-implementation; and
• CATCH My Breath is the only evidence-based youth vaping prevention program
