Creating Kinesthetic Classrooms Professional Development

There are many studies that show that movement enhances brain function and cognitive development. With MBT's Creating Kinesthetic Classrooms program, teachers are given the tools to integrate movement into their curriculum. They will leave our program with the energized instructional attitude needed to implement and foster the Kinesthetic Classroom revolution.

Movement supplies brain cells with oxygen, promotes the production of new brain cells, and aids in creating new synapses.  In education, learning should occur at the students’ readiness. When students move during lessons, it creates pathways for the information to be stored and retrieved at later times. 

 "Since movement/play is not as evident in the development of children, we should be expected and eager as educators of these children to find ways of incorporating movement into their lessons…we should want to build their brain-body connections to enhance their learning!" (Blythe, 2009)

 Motivating teachers with Mind Body Teaching offers school districts a powerful way to enhance both educator well-being and classroom effectiveness. With decades of coaching and leadership experience, along with more than 50 years of combined classroom and administrative expertise, Jason, Deirdre, and their team understand what it takes to create an environment that truly inspires teachers to thrive. Motivated educators not only support the mental and physical health of their students, but also build deeper, more meaningful connections in the classroom—fostering a positive and engaging learning atmosphere. When teachers feel balanced, supported, and inspired, they bring greater energy, creativity, and compassion to their work, ultimately uplifting the entire school community.
