The Research Files Episode 36: Student fitness and wellbeing

Teacher Magazine (ACER)

In this instalment of The Research Files we’ll be discussing student fitness and wellbeing, specifically, two simple exercise programs – the first is a new project aimed at improving adolescent health and wellbeing, and the second is being used by thousands of early years and primary students across the world. We’ll talk to the founder of The Daily Mile, retired Scottish head teacher Elaine Wyllie, later in this episode but our first guest is Dr Jordan Smith from the University of Newcastle, here in Australia. He’s one of the research team working on Burn2Learn, a four year project working with Year 11 students to improve their physical, cognitive and mental health.
