Action Based Learning
If teachers know that students need to move to learn, then what does that look like in the classroom? How can we teach reading, math, social studies, and science while standing up? That’s Action Based Learning! Jean Blaydes Madigan has developed kinesthetic teaching strategies that teach specific academic concepts in a teacher friendly, time efficient, fun way that has proven results for a positive learning experience.
