Professional Learning for Busy Educators

Offering the opportunity for adequate physical activity within the school day is a topic I’m very passionate about.  I was fortunate enough during my first year of teaching to attend several Brain Gym classes and learn about how vital it is for students to have movement throughout the day.  Brain Gym is a used in over 80 countries around the world, promoting the science of enhancing learning through movement.  Of course, I knew kids needed exercise, that just made sense.  However, what I quickly became fascinate with was the impact that physical activity had on student learning outcomes.  The more I became interested, the more I began to learn about the direct correlation between the brain and movement.
