Physical Activity
We are big believers in movement in the classroom. We work to transform the way students learn most effectively, through Physical Activity initiatives that change school culture organically, one educator at a time.
Our primary goal is to spread the notion of utilizing Physical Activity in the classroom throughout schools to impact students’ academic performance while developing healthy lifelong patterns and habits in our schoolchildren. Toward that end, we developed SES 513-940: Integrating Physical Activity into the Classroom, an online three credit graduate level course available through the University of Northern Colorado. Offered to educators, participants gain a robust understanding of the connection between physical activity (PA) and academic performance.
