Schools are powerful places to shape the health, education and well-being of our children. That is why the Alliance’s Healthy Schools Program supports more than 13,000 schools across the U.S. in their efforts to create environments where physical activity and healthy eating are accessible and encouraged.

The Alliance provides expert advice and resources for school professionals, teachers and students in addition to information specifically for parents. Parents serve as key role models in the home and they can also help ensure that health is a priority at their child’s school.

Active Living Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Our primary goal is to support and share research on environmental and policy strategies that can promote daily physical activity for children and families across the United States. We place special emphasis on research related to children of color and lower-income children who are at highest risk for obesity.

Welcome to the site for health & physical education teachers, parents and students. Our goal is to provide the latest information about developmentally appropriate physical education programs for children. To motivate children, we offer fun kids fitness programs such as Log It and the PEC Challenge. We reach about 150,000 unique visitors per month and we have over 2000 published lesson ideas, best practices and assessment ideas. Our site is guided by 150 Managing Editors and Advisory Board Members who have over 2300 years K-12 physical education teaching experience.
