Vision, Celebration, Achievement
Urban School Helps All Children to Learn
 | Keith Corrigan, third grade teacher at Carter & MacRae Elementary in Lancaster, Pa., leads students in 15 minutes of physical activity at the start of each day.

"We start each day with a song called, 'I Believe I Can Fly,'" explains Dr. Ollie Jones, principal of Carter and MacRae Elementary School in Lancaster, Pa. The words of the song's chorus:
"If I can see it, then I can do it / If I just believe it, there's nothing to it. / I believe I can fly"
exemplify the spirit of this urban school, in which most students come from households living in poverty, and where the annual turnover rate is 50%.
Despite the challenges, Jones and her team daily create an environment of "vision, celebration and achievement" in which all children are encouraged to learn.
"We are building social capital," explains Jones. "We want to invest the community in the academic achievement of these students."

Moving & Learning at the Same Time
Exploring the Science of the Brain
 | Students of Charleston, SC, School District.

"I've changed from being a PE teacher to a neuroscientist!" says David Spurlock of his career-long progression from using a skills-based approach to physical education to seeing movement and learning -- what happens in the brain -- as integrally related.
"Over the past 30-40 years, PE has gone the route of being skills-based, but not changing the fitness levels of our children," observes Spurlock. "About five years ago I came to the realization that PE needed to be more than this. ... We needed an entirely new approach, to help people understand that you can move and learn at the same time."
