Description

What is the physical and mental atmosphere like in your classroom?

Do your pupils complain about tiredness? Is it difficult for them to get up straight after hours of sitting instruction? Is the classroom cluttered enough to provoke a panic attack? Is it true that daydreaming and fidgeting have replaced attentive and ready-to-learn behaviors?

Watch this recording to examine the current status of your school and the various learning settings in order to better meet the requirements of kids.

You’ll learn how neuroplasticity, our sensory system, and ergonomics all work together to help you learn and succeed in school! You’ll learn how universal design ideas in both learning and architecture may help create the ideal educational environment for all students!

Then we get right into it:

Common interfering habits, such as low or high arousal, fidgeting, low self-esteem, and sensory protective behaviors, must be managed.
A plethora of novel movement and sensory-based exercises and tactics to improve reading, handwriting, social, emotional, and executive functioning abilities.
Handouts and checklists to help you evaluate your varied school settings
Simple, low-cost strategies to transform your classroom into a sensory-rich, movement-motivating environment that promotes learning, self-regulation, and personal health and wellness.
Using mindfulness to address stress, underarousal, or dysregulated behaviors in students
