Move-to-Improve (opens in new window) is the NYC-Public School’s free, classroom-based physical activity program that helps teachers of elementary grades enhance their lessons by integrating physical activity into academic instruction. Move-to-Improve activities use the power of movement to motivate, energize, and help establish lifelong healthy habits for K-5/6 students. These activities can be adapted to get students of different ages, academic levels, and physical abilities moving.
Both physical education and classroom teachers can access and use the Move-to-Improve resources available on WeTeachNYC (opens in new window) to keep students physically active and engaged throughout the school day.
See the updated Move-to-Improve Guidance document (opens in new window) to find out more about Move-to-Improve, including how your school can become and remain a Move-to-Improve All-Star school.
These professional learning opportunities (PLOs) will show elementary teachers how to get their students up and moving during instruction!
