The Walking Classroom is an award-winning nonprofit education program that gets kids walking while listening to fun, standards-aligned, educational podcasts. The 15-minute podcasts are custom-written and recorded and cover topics on English language arts, social studies, and science and are designed for kids in grades 3 through 8.
In additional to the podcast's core content, each podcast begins with a different brief health message to build health literacy. It also incorporates a character value woven throughout the narrative (and included in the discussion questions) to support social and emotional learning.
The new mobile app includes almost 200 podcasts and is completely free to use through July 31, 2020. Discussion questions for each podcast are included right in the app. A separate Teacher's Guide with full lesson plans including quizzes is available in our online store.
Hip-hop videos and creativity tools give teachers new ways to captivate students while engaging them in academically rigorous content.
Topics include Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, Scientific Practice, Technology & Engineering, Robots, Coding, Space
