NJAHPERD is an organization that exists to improve programs in NJ schools and communities that encourage healthy active living (specifically in the areas of health education, physical education, recreation, dance education, and athletics). One of the ways the association does this is by providing opportunities for professional development and training that will lead to better education and when implemented, better programs.

NJAHPERD has received from the NJ Department of Health, a CDC grant to provide professional development for Health and Physical Education teachers to improve school programs that address nutrition, physical activity and physical education.

This grant is being used for “Project Adventure Training” this summer (July).  To participate, individuals must provide a written description of how they will use the training in their particular program.
