关于我们

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. Now a program of Alliance for a Healthier Generation, The Walking Classroom'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.
