From the Division of Adolescent and School Health within the CDC, this page offers an excellent compilation of resources and methods for managing classes and enhancing connectedness. “CDC researchers reviewed scientific papers on classroom management and identified these classroom management approaches that promote student connectedness and engagement. Strategies to support these approaches were identified through a structured review of web-based practice resources.”
The resources are categorized into six themes, each with research, examples, tools, and additional links:
- Teacher caring and support
- Peer connection and support
- Student autonomy and empowerment
- Management of classroom social dynamics
- Teacher expectations
- Behavior management
While this resource is not specific to classroom physical activity, it does address holistic wellness, student learning, and classroom climate, all of which can directly or indirectly impact student activity and the likelihood of success for classroom movement.
