An interview with Dr. Tyler Spencer, Founder and Executive Director at Grassroots Health.
Yes, physical activity is an absolute core component of every single element of the curriculum. And you're exactly right, physical activity for many students is a hook to be, to want to be involved, to have fun, to engage with the curriculum. Physical activity, I think probably for the audience of this podcast, is also a method for helping students retain the information. It's also helpful for keeping students focused throughout the school day, being able to move their bodies.
