THE WALKING CLASSROOM IS A NATIONAL AWARD-WINNING NONPROFIT PROGRAM AND EDUCATIONAL TOOL THAT WORKS TO IMPROVE THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND ACADEMIC HEALTH OF ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN. BY WALKING, LISTENING, AND LEARNING REGULARLY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, STUDENTS ESTABLISH HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS WHILE BUILDING HEALTH LITERACY AND CORE CONTENT KNOWLEDGE. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF OUR PROGRAM IS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF INACTIVITY AND OBESITY WHILE PROVIDING AN INNOVATIVE METHOD OF ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT AT THE SAME TIME. THE METHOD IS SIMPLE: STUDENTS WALK AS A CLASS (USUALLY OUTSIDE) WHILE LISTENING TO THE SAME, EXPERT-RESEARCHED, CUSTOM-WRITTEN, KID-FRIENDLY EDUCATIONAL PODCAST. STUDENTS ARE EXCITED TO GET OUT OF THE CLASSROOM, AND THEY SOON BEGIN TO ENJOY REGULAR EXERCISE AND REALIZE THAT THE WALKING CLASSROOM AND ITS EFFECTS EMPOWER THEM.
