How Nature and Movement Can Impact Educator and Student Wellness
Thursday July 10, 2025 9:45am - 10:45am MDT
Room #144
In this engaging and insightful presentation, we will explore the profound effects that nature and physical movement have on the wellness of both educators and students. Drawing from recent research and practical examples, we will delve into how integrating natural environments and physical activities into educational settings can enhance mental health, boost cognitive function, and improve overall well-being.
Participants will learn about:
• The psychological and physiological benefits of spending time in nature, including reduced stress levels, improved mood, and increased creativity.
• The role of physical movement in enhancing brain function, concentration, and academic performance.
• Practical strategies for incorporating nature-based activities and movement into daily routines, both in and out of the classroom.
• Case studies and success stories from schools that have successfully implemented these practices and witnessed positive outcomes.
• Grants to support Outdoor Classrooms, Movement Opportunities for your School, Utah Children’s Outdoor Recreation and Education Grant, and Outdoor Infrastructure Grant.
Join us to discover how simple changes in the educational environment can lead to significant improvements in the health and happiness of both educators and students. This presentation is ideal for teachers, school administrators, and anyone interested in promoting a holistic approach to education and wellness.
