Mission

Encouraging Educators Across Mississippi to Promote Children’s Well-Being Through Health and Physical Activity Integration, Brain and Body Activation, and Whole Child Education.

 

Purpose

Moving Across Mississippi is an online video platform that will be utilized by early childhood and elementary educators across Mississippi to promote the overall health of school-aged children, while simultaneously increasing academic knowledge. The 2-5 minute videos will be grounded in fundamental aspects of wellness and physical activity, while also being aligned with the Mississippi Early Learning Standards and Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards. Video topics will include physical activity, creative movement, yoga, mindfulness and breathing techniques, social and emotional competencies, and health and nutrition. Overarching goals of the Moving Across Mississippi platform are to expose educators to wellness and physical activity skills while demonstrating the ease of academic integration through a technology-based platform. Lastly, our goal is to inspire children to learn through movement, imagination, and creativity while improving physical, social-emotional, and cognitive skills.
