WE ARE SHAPING THE FUTURE OF LEARNING

Studies Show: Healthy Students Get Better Grades, Attend School More Often and Behave Better In Class. The Missing Link and Easy Solution—A Healthy Literacy Curriculum for the “Whole Child.”

What is The Hip Hop Healthy Heart Program for Children™?

A K-6th grade comprehensive healthy literacy education curriculum (mind, body and emotion) that has been created to “Build A Culture of Health” through our educational system. This program provides an innovative approach to solve many of the greatest problems that face today’s youth, all of which affect academic performance.  It provides our children with the tools to flourish and be resilient!  To guide them to blossom into their full potential (mentally, physically and emotionally).

The Hip Hop Healthy Heart Program for Children™ has an emphasis on heart health that uses a unique mix of art, music, and positive thinking to motivate children to build a foundation of wellness. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the program is an innovative solution for bringing wellness and physical education back into schools and into children’s households.

We are teaching through Personalized Learning by grouping our program K-3 and 4th-6th. This allows each child to learn at their “Own Pace” and in their own “Best” way. It flows from teacher, to student, to family, to community.

What does it provide? An on-line curriculum and resources that “Transforms Our Children” through a Train-The-Trainer model that will “Positively” affect ALL who engage in this program. It is the Solution To Lifestyle and Behavioral Changes!

Why is this program unique? Instead of focusing solely on exercise and nutrition, an approach that has been tried repeatedly, the eight modules integrate a full-spectrum of self-discovery and self-esteem techniques in addition to health and wellness information.  The techniques include stress reduction, creativity building, positive group dynamics, critical thinking, character development and community involvement. The Hip Hop Healthy Heart Program for Children™ encompasses the “Whole Child.”

This program can be implemented five different ways:  Classroom Teacher, PE and Wellness Coaches, After-School Programs, Camps and Train 8 Teachers – Teach the Parents

Professional Development (PD) Hours for Educators: Teachers can earn up to 200 hours of PD (25 Hours per Module) through Rio Salado College at $3 a credit – which satisfies state and national curriculum standards
