Highlighting Best Practices
Naperville Central High School
Charleston School District
Orchard Grove Elementary School
• Cognitive development occurs
in tandem with motor ability
• Physical activity can positively
affect: – Blood flow and oxygen to the brain – The part of the brain responsible for
learning and memory – BDNF “Miracle Gro” for the brain – Connections between nerves in the
brain
