Teaching Strategies
When students need to get their wiggles out so they can settle down to learn, this simple movement-based brain break does the trick.
Learning Environments
By exploring outside their classroom—and even their schoolyard—two teachers found their students’ learning potential became boundless.
Collaborative Learning
When students pretend they’re at a fancy party making small talk, a simple brainstorm for writing ideas becomes more lively, more cooperative—and more effective.
Brain-Based Learning
When students explore new words through movement, they understand them better, retain them longer, and feel more empowered to use them.
