Webinar: Move Your Body. Grow Your Mind.
Wondering how movement helps to support diverse learners in the 21st century classroom?
Facilitated by Jackie Bartell, M. Ed.
Supporting diverse learners in the 21st century classroom through movement is one way to allow students to access curriculum in a well-regulated way. Students come to the classroom with a variety of sensory systems, and when the brain is not processing sensory input well, it is usually not directing behavior effectively. Movement and sensory input helps students to process their environment in a way that activates learning and engagement. Creating learning environments that facilitate sensory organizing activities benefits all students and improves educational outcomes.
This webinar will explore the research that supports movement and flexibility in learning environments and how the Vidget 3-in-1 Flexible Seating System™ meets the changing needs of the 21st Century Classroom.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how movement activates organization of sensory systems in the flexible learning environment.
- Understand the Sensory Integration Continuum and how it impacts the students' capacity to be part of the classroom culture.
- Learn how to support these elements by designing systems in the flexible classroom that actively engage students.
