Abstract

Research has shown that students who are healthier and have access to opportunities for physical activity may achieve improved academic achievement. However, challenges with classroom and behavior management can be disruptive to learning opportunities in physical education classes. A combination of a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) with a focus on social emotional learning may help schools address common student challenges, such as poor student behavior. This article presents a school-wide initiative that uses CSPAP combined with concepts of social emotional learning to calm the mind, reduce stress and anxiety levels, and help students stay on task.
