Our school district's daily instructional framework ensures our students will read, write, think, speak, listen, and move in every class, every day. Research shows that academic success increases when movement is incorporated. We don't quite have an official source here, but one of our moms said it's true. She's the healthful living director for our school district so we believe her. As a high school teacher it can often be difficult to find ways to get our students moving that fits in our daily schedule and convinces our kids, who are obviously too cool for us, to participate. We like to mix up our movement strategies. One day we might incorporate the math content we are learning while the next we are just having a little fun during a quick brain break.
