Recenzii
"The Kinesthetic Classroom 2.0 is a must have resource for every educator seeking engagement at all age and skill levels. The Kinesthetic Classroom gave us the confidence and ability to incorporate movement, music, and differentiation with meaning into our classrooms daily. Now with even more research and strategies, Mike and Traci have taken that to the next level in Ready, Set, Go - The Kinesthetic Classroom 2.0. This book will help you change student outcomes while having fun!"
"There is a universal shift in education underway that has struck at the roots of every industrialized system of education. The result is a demand for more personalized learning, brain friendly environments, less recall and more thoughtful application of knowledge, optimal conditions for eliciting intelligent behaviors, constructivist tools and respectful caring relationships that honor the learner (Thom Markham, Redefining Smart: Awakening Students' Power to Re-imagine Their World).
This book and the ongoing work of the authors is a milestone for educators engaged in the push for brain friendly learning environments. Building the connection between movement and learning as a proactive stance to make learning environments more engaging is an amazingly simple building block. As an educational innovation this approach costs nothing more than a philosophical shift in thinking about how one frames learning and what is expected of learners in a more dynamic learning environment.
Having seen Michael Kuczala's impact on a cohort of teachers through a two day workshop experience and seeing the joy and enthusiasm to which teachers respond to this approach to learning, it has to be said that this body of work has a transformational capacity to change and improve learning outcomes exponentially.
This is not just something that expands the capacity for the fidgety kids who find it hard to concentrate for extended periods. This approach has capacity to change the learning environment for all. Compelling reading and even more exciting when applied to practice."
