The Walking Classroom staff work hard to actively spread the “walk, listen, and learn” word by participating as often as possible in conferences and meetings in the education arena. This winter and spring we’re participating as exhibitors as well as speakers at several conferences around country.
Take a Walk with a WalkKit!
At each of these conferences, we’ll have WalkKits available that you can check out at our booth and take a walk around the exhibit hall while you listen to a podcast. The educational and entertaining podcasts are sure to bring a smile to your day. Thumb through our Teachers’ Guides and pick up handouts to see the wealth of information we provide for teachers and facilitators.
