http://www.vark-learn.com/english/index.asp

Learning in Motion
• An imaginative way to transform lessons into

• Comes from notion that children
– Love to play

– Use bodies to communicate & express emotions
• Most often used in math, science, language
arts, and music
Science Example
• How does the earth move?
– Can you show me with your body?
– Can you turn your body around in a circle and
move across the room?
• Can you form the earth with your group?
– Use your body to show the features of earth –
clouds, trees, oceans, mountains
Benefits
• Benefits of physicalizing academic concepts:
– Makes learning tangible, accessible, memorable
– Cultivates critical thinking & use of higher-level
thinking skills
– Demands individual decision making and group
interaction
– Stimulates creative & dynamic energy in
classroom
Minds in Motion: A Kinesthetic Approach to
Teaching Elementary Curriculum, Susan Griss
Learning in Motion Can Help …
• Bridge the achievement and self-esteem gap for
students who often get lost in the process
(integration and inclusion)
• Provide every child with the same set of
opportunities - “Not every student has the same
starting line, but they all have the same finish
line”
• Manipulate the environment to put students at
ease with their learning style - students learn
best when they don’t feel overly stressed
Learning in Motion Aligned With …
• Robert Brooks’ philosophy
– Must design the curriculum to the customer
– Every student must be served: all learning styles,
gifted, disabled
• John Dewey’s philosophy
– Students learn best by doing
– Learning most effective when grounded in
experience
Assessment & Measurement
• “Not everything measured is important, and not
everything important is measured.” - Learning in
Motion is likely in the later category
• Learning in Motion likely influences the characteristics
on the Never-Ending Report Card (Dorothy Rich):
Confidence Motivation
Effort Responsibility
Initiative Perseverance
Teamwork Common sense
Problem solving Kindness
Fun Caring
Resources
• Minds in Motion: A Kinesthetic Approach to Teaching
Elementary Curriculum, S. Griss (1998)
• Teaching the Three Rs: Through Movement
Experiences, A.G. Gilbert (2002)
• Patriots in Motion: Exercise Index for Grades K-5,
Binghamton City School District (2011)
• Learning in Motion, California company whose goal is
to improve the nature of instruction and learning,
http://www.learn.motion.com/index.html
Discussion Questions
• How effective do you think this method would
be in your curriculum?
• Consider:
– Students adaptability
– Faculty preparedness
– Appropriateness to particular curricula, program
outcomes, course objectives
– Institutional acceptance
