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 Moize 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.

Students engaged in Action Based Learning™ improve memory retention, reinforce academic concepts, balance brain chemicals while experiencing whole-brain, whole-body learning. Educational research suggests that about 85% of school age students are predominantly kinesthetic learners.

The concepts in the Action Based Learning™ Lab are based on the brain research that supports the link of movement and physical activity to increased academic performance.  The Action Based Learning™ Lab benefits all students for remediation and enrichment.

Brain science strongly supports the link of movement to learning. The brain and body’s movement and learning systems are interdependent and interactive. For example, motor development provides the framework that the brain uses to sequence the patterns needed for academic concepts. The body’s vestibular system controls balance and spatial awareness and facilitates the students ability to place words and letters on a page. When a student walks or crawls in specific patterns, the brain’s ability to encode symbols is increased. The four visuals fields needed for eye tracking is strengthened. Proper development and remediation of these systems are critical to a childs’ ability to learn.

How does the lab work?

Typically students will spend 2-5 minutes at each station, rotating at the sound of the buzzer. Some of the stations include flip chart holders. The content of the flip chart holders can be customized based on the curriclum for that day or teachers can use the provided flip card curriculum. This is great for students reviewing facts before tests! Students can also pair up and work with partners - One student will be moving while the other is quizzing them.
