This is a very active class. Most lessons have an activity in
them. Carla Hannaford, PhD is a neurophysiologist and educator and
is the author of the book Smart Moves – Why Learning is Not all
in Your Head. She states that, “Thinking and learning is
anchored by movement…without movement of some kind, you don’t get
conscious thought. Movement profoundly improves not only learning
but creativity, stress management and health. (Knowledge of this
connection) can have an immediate impact on educators, teachers and
parents concerned with the success of all our children.”
 Experience
has shown that the more active the class, the higher the interest
and the greater the learning. Many of the activities have
been created by
Tom Heck. He is a former classroom teacher turned educator of team
skills for a world-wide audience and has developed an amazing
resource to help people learn and lead experiential learning
exercises with their students.
