This book explains how movement enhances learning and introduces a unique and highly effective way to energize a team and increase retention through simple body-focused techniques. Whether your employees are stuck behind a desk or having to sit through another meeting, chances are they are being kept from moving around most of the workday. This is resulting in restless bodies, wavering attention spans, and--based on the latest neuroscience research--decreased learning and productivity. Managers desiring to maximize their employees’ productivity and reach new levels of success for the company would be wise to not ignore the innate human desire for motion. In Training in Motion, learn how to: Tie lessons to movement in order to reinforce concepts Manage learners’ physical and emotional states to increase engagement and bolster memory Use posture, physical gestures, and other movements to command interest Employ quick physical breaks to efficiently refocus your team Turn lackluster meetings into high-achieving learning environments Complete with practical, easy-to-apply activities, Training in Motion will help you add an almost universally untapped component to your training and managing methods that will provide your office environment the winning edge you’ve been searching for.
Develop and implement an action plan for self-care Cultivating focus, re-energizing oneself, and improving daily habits are essential for educators’ well-being and the good that they pass along to students. Mike Kuczala asserts that educators’ greatest tool is a mirror—in it, teachers will find their greatest advocate for personal growth, power, wellness, and vision: themselves. However, finding the time to implement new habits can be hard. Because small changes are easier to plan for and realize, Kuczala concentrates on the habits that are most likely to yield significant improvements. This book guides educators in meaningful self-reflection by providing: Five critical practices to increase productivity and decrease anxiety Reflection prompts and vignettes to guide readers in developing self-care strategies Practical checklists and templates to help educators maintain goals Grounded in new research connecting personal change to professional improvement, Kuczala’s approach to well-being builds a bridge between mind and body to create a comprehensive path for success.
Drawing on cutting-edge research, this inspiring book shows how to integrate movement with classroom instruction, providing hundreds of activities that improve attention spans and student learning.
