Virtual Teacher Workshop with Dr. Debbie Rhea, Professor in Kinesiology and Associate Dean of Research and Health Sciences in HCNHS at Texas Christian University and Project Creator & Director LINK Center for Health Play

We are in an era of many choices of how to offer a school environment. Parents can choose to send their children to any number of types: public, private, charter, forest, home schools. Some cost more than others, but it is ultimately up to the parents to make a decision on the right learning environment for their children. The public school is becoming one of the least chosen types of school to send their children to presently. If the public school’s goal is to provide a healthy learning environment for children to improve academics, then we need to take a closer look into the approach needed to develop children who want to learn. This session will highlight the diseased school we have today in many parts of the country and how we can transform it into a school of healthy teachers and children who thrive in the school setting again. Play is the root and data is the key to shift the school environment from diseased to healthy for teachers and children. Tune in to see how the data paints a very clear picture of why the school model of standardized tests, technology, sedentary children, and lack of outdoor exposure is creating the most unhealthy and burned out generation of children we have ever raised and why teachers are quitting and retiring at alarming rates yearly.
