The Walking Classroom Institute Details
The Walking Classroom is a national award-winning education program that provides students and teachers with an innovative way to get exercise without sacrificing instructional time. The nonprofit program's "Walk, Listen, and Learn" methodology capitalizes on the favorable link between exercise and cognitive function.The program is simple: Students take brisk 20-minute walks, as a class, while listening to the same custom-written, kid-friendly podcast that comes pre-loaded on their "WalkKit" audio device. Each podcast begins with a brief health literacy message, and the lesson plans in the Teacher's Guide help educators effectively discuss and review the podcast material.Awards:2015: Winner: William J.
