School leaders & educators

Programs and Resources for Educators

School leaders and educators have unique responsibilities to school boards, school communities, and their families. This also means that you are uniquely positioned to create conditions where physical activity is a regular part of your student’s education. With our comprehensive programming and free online resources, we'll support you in developing physical literacy environments that meet your K-2 students’ specific needs.

When you join Champions for Life, you can:

Access physical literacy training and activity-based curriculum to help infuse movement in a meaningful way to bring about lasting change in the lives of your students.

Offer turnkey physical literacy programs and resources that provide you with everything you need to execute and communicate with parents.

Build a culture of active movement in your school through physical literacy programming. Meaningful movement activities help develop the brain and improve self-regulation, concentration and memory.

Physical & health education teachers

Resources for Physical Education Teachers

Change starts with you. We provide physical education teachers with access to an extensive collection of resources that facilitate the delivery of physical literacy activities into your curriculum in a structured and measurable way.

When you join Champions for Life, you can:

Deliver lessons that optimally challenge ALL your K-2 students where the activity challenge matches their skill level and encourages them to improve and succeed.

Foster the development of various fundamental skills for students to develop movement competence. These skills, in turn, form the foundation for more complex movement skills in advanced grades. 

Help your K-2 students to develop the motivation and ability to understand, communicate, apply and analyze various forms of movement.
