Description: Brain scientists have shown that movement is essential for enhanced brain function, circulation, focus, concentration, learning, and retention. Because students learn in different ways, this training equips educators with strategies that intentionally integrate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning modalities, all aligned with Next Generation Learning Standards. These play-based, multi-sensory trauma-informed learning strategies actively engage learners, build self-confidence and self-efficacy, and help reduce learning gaps. Best of all, kids love learning this way!
This unique training blends research-based theory with real-world application, giving participants the opportunity to see movement-based learning in action.
Learning Objectives:
● Participants will understand the neuroscience behind movement-based learning and explain how purposeful movement enhances brain function, focus, learning, and memory.
● Participants will learn practical math strategies to facilitate teaching and learning, and how to integrate these strategies into classroom instruction.
● Participants will observe and practice implementing movement-based learning strategies
All participants will receive:
1. The Math & Movement Training Manual ebook, which contains over 250 engaging math movements (an ebook version of the above)
2. Jump & Learn Addition and Subtraction ebook
3. Jump & Learn Multiplication ebook
4. Multiplication and Division in the Real World, Book A ebook
