Working Group Resources
On November 24, 2008, the School Systems and Government Policies and Programs Working Groups co-presented the Physical Activity in Schools Meeting. This powerpoint was given by the keynote speaker, Charlene R. Burgeson, Executive Director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE).
This brochure summarizes the knowledge on how child overweight, specifically nutrition and physical activity, impact academic performance.
This brochure was developed to support classroom teachers who would like to incorporate student physical activity into their school day. It was originally created to support Chicago Moves Day, but is useful for year-round in-classroom activity breaks.
