What is this course about?
It is common knowledge that physical education has fallen by the wayside as schools are forced to focus on specific academic goals in compressed school schedules. Physical education classes have been cut at every age level correlating with rising childhood obesity levels and decreasing students’ focus and concentration skills. Course participants will learn about working with school colleagues to ensure students are engaging in physical activity during school hours, even if they are not attending physical education classes every day. Subjects covered include brain health and physical activity, the mind-body connection, and fighting childhood obesity, among others.
