The Kinesthetic Classroom: Teaching and Learning through Movement is a brain-based approach to teaching and learning that helps teachers move from the traditional self-view of “teacher” to a new paradigm of “facilitator of learning” and “designer of the learning environment.” High school, middle school, and elementary school teachers will not only leave with dozens of immediately usable strategies for K-12 classrooms across all disciplines, they will gain a more focused understanding of how the brain learns and a working knowledge of a 6-part theoretical framework for thoughtfully and purposefully using movement in order to raise student achievement. The 6-part framework includes (1) preparing the brain to learn, (2) using brain breaks, (3) supporting exercise and fitness, (4) creating class cohesion, (5) reviewing content using movement and (6) teaching content using movement.

Brain-Based Teaching and Learning focuses on how the brain prefers to learn, memory systems and their role in every classroom, and how to make instructional practice more brain-friendly. Topics include cognitive information processing, the primacy-recency effect, the role of emotion in learning, and the core brain principles that make for a successful teaching and learning process.

Participants will understand why movement is critical in the teaching and learning process; recognize the advantage of students who are physically fit and moving during academic time; and learn how to implement the six-step framework for using movement thoughtfully and purposefully at all grade levels and in all content areas.
