Information for Teachers
The marathon ensures that students exercise their bodies. Operation Smile now offers teachers an optional Final Mile educational curriculum to exercise students’ minds, in addition to the Final Mile running program coordinated by Physical Education teachers, running club advisors and parent volunteers.
The curriculum is separated for kindergarten to 3rd graders and 4th to 6th graders. It includes four authentic, differentiated, interactive, interdisciplinary, and student-centered lessons. State and national standards are identified for each lesson, and teachers can flexibly incorporate as many or as few components of the lessons as best suited for individual classroom needs.
Shamrock will also award prize money to the school with the highest participation rate.
