Health Benefits and Health Awareness
My students and I love The Walking Classroom. I am a firm believer in the correlation between movement and learning. This program should be in every classroom.

The program is great! Students REALLY took to it immediately, and engagement was way up. Thanks for including the health tips. I think that this is an area that is otherwise overlooked in general classroom curriculum/activities. Thank you!

The content of the podcasts is spot on and aligns wonderfully with the North Carolina standards and teaching objectives. The quality of the podcasts and ancillary resources make “Walking Classroom” user friendly for teachers . . . It has become an enhancement to my teaching toolkit.

Discussion and Engagement . . . check!
Since I have started using The Walking Classroom, students have become more engaged in the learning process and are more excited about coming to school. I look forward to continuing to use The Walking Classroom to expand our learning!

The Walking Classroom equipment and materials have helped with increasing class discussion and also with the development of my students’ listening skills. They are listening with a purpose more attentively now in regular classroom activities — even when the devices are not being used.
– Carmichael Henry, North Carolina
My students are listening intently and having lively discussions about the podcasts when we return to class. After 24 years of teaching, I can truly say it’s one of my favorite programs.
– Susan Camarena, California
This program has really sparked excitement in many of my students that have a hard time concentrating and focusing sitting in the classroom. Using the podcasts helps give background knowledge of what we are learning, as well as building upon what we have learned already.
