-Facilitated by : Traci Lengel
Oklahoma ranks as the #1 state for most kinesthetic classrooms and action based learning schools in the nation! What does this mean for you? Besides lots of field trips...this is a very hands-on training by the leaders of the movement! The training is co-hosted by the Schools for Healthy Lifestyles Team, who have led the transformation of districts across the state- making moving and learning a required part of the school day for students! They have received such outstanding results from implementing Action Based Learning Concepts, that their team now presents nationally on their program and has won multiple awards for innovation. This training is sure to be one of the most hands-on of them all. You will get to meet all the major players and game-changers in the education world. The focus of this training will be practical application in the labs and kinesthetic classrooms, and how to connect kinesthetic movements to the common core. On top of this, there will be evening events hosted for attendees to network and bond with other passionate educators, just like yourself! We highly recommend attending this one :)
