Studies show that the most common barriers to classroom-based physical activity (PA) are time, tools, and training. We are here to give you quick, proven ways to increase PA - and focus, engagement, and learning.

#Thankful for wonderful partners in movement, teachers who invest in students daily, and the opportunity to work alongside both! #MovedToLearn #ActiveMindsActiveBodies

We have some pretty outstanding alumni that are doing amazing things with the degree they've earned. Check out @shanaburres and what she's doing with @DASH_Kids_Org to help #students in the Pacific Northwest thrive.

Teenage brains need physical activity for growth and development, too! Sports are great but daily PE is an investment in every middle and high school student! #ActiveBodiesActiveMinds #ExecutiveFunction #LifelongLearnAndHealth #DASHTeensMove

[DASH_Kids @DASH_Kids_Org]

Executive function and brain health are not skills reserved for elementary students; middle and high school students also rely on them. DASH Kids aren't only young students, they are preteen and teenage students, too. #DASHKidsMove #DASHTeensMoveToo #AllStudents

“I call [exercise] Miracle-Gro for the brain. Exercise keeps these cells healthy in a way that even playing chess does not."

WA is one of the 44 that does not require PE in all grades. We are the ones that will get and keep our students actively learning! #DASHKidsMove #ActiveBodiesActiveMinds

Movement can help set the tone for a great day and an excellent year! #DASHKidsMove #MovedToLearn

“Free play and exploration are, historically, the means by which children learn to solve their own problems, control their own lives, develop their own interests, and become competent in pursuit of their own interests." -Dr. Peter Grey #DashKidsMove #FreePlay #OutsideLearning

Bring a little retro fun to your Friday! Hopscotch, Jump rope, and Foursquare have been providing fun and activity for generations! #DashKidsMove #RetroActive #FunDayFriday

Giving kids space and time to play is a simple, equitable way to support their healthy development!

[DASH_Kids @DASH_Kids_Org]

Our students may not be in their classrooms but learning can continue! Heading outdoors to explore new parks, local attractions or nearby natural wonders sparks a world of learning. #DASHKidsMove #LearnOutside #PhysicalLiteracy

Another great reason to try out a new activity this summer! Being active now is an investment in next school year's learning. https://t.co/BYsKDMNPb3

[Dr. Lynne Kenney @DrLynneKenney]

The traditional view that the basal ganglia and cerebellum are simply involved in the control of movement has been challenged in recent years. The basal ganglia and cerebellar connections work with the cerebral cortex in learning + behavior.

[DASH_Kids @DASH_Kids_Org]

"Diversification of physical activity directly supports the development of multiple motor skills which, in turn, may crossover to multiple sports" and summer is the perfect time to try something new!
