| Magical Meaningful Learning demonstrates innovative and effective interdisciplinary lessons by partnering academics, fine arts, and physical education. This active participation session combines simple movements and music along with factual information to achieve whole-brain, whole-body LIFELONG learning. Academic facts and concepts are presented with specific visual, auditory, and physical activity so that learning is accomplished by seeing, hearing, and doing in combination. Participants will immediately utilize the concepts with their students in order to communicate to administrators, through demonstration, that movement truly fosters the development of the whole person: Body, mind, and spirit! Knowledge is therefore internalized rather than memorized!. |
