14 Modules that support teachers in integrating embodied wellness into every day and every class
Each module has 4 lessons, one for each week of the calendar month, that explore health- based themes. The activities listed below are also included and meant to be practiced daily through the week as needed at transition times and for mind-body breaks.
In her book, Building Emotional Intelligence, Linda Lantieri summarizes the research upon which the ActiveLife™ is based:
“If children learn to eat well, express emotions constructively and engage in caring and respectful relationships before and while they are in elementary grades, they are more likely to avoid depression, violence, and other serious mental health problems as they grow older.” (p. 16)
We call this embodiment of physical, mental, and emotional health: inner sustainability. The ActiveLife™ Curriculum develops inner sustainability by supporting the whole child.
