In collaboration with the Region IX Office of Head Start, STG International,
Inc. Region IX Technical Assistance Network and the California Head Start
Association we are pleased to feature the National training team from I am
Moving, I am Learning (IMIL) at the Summer Health Institute.
IMIL was created in response to regional and national trends toward childhood
obesity. The project was designed to fit within the Head Start Performance
Standards and the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework through
enhancements, chosen by the individual Head Start program, to current
teaching practices by providing more focused guidance on quality movement,
gross and fine motor development and child nutrition. Additionally, IMIL goes
beyond the classroom teaching practices to enhance the approach family
service workers take with Head Start families in the area of movement and
nutrition as well as in the approach Head Start health staff takes in working
with children and their families. IMIL uses a train-the-trainer model with
directors and their management teams attending a 2½ day training event.
