About this module
Movement and body awareness are usually treated as something that happens outside the classroom, at recess or in PE, rather than as one of the most direct tools available for regulating a room, and this module corrects that by teaching physical intelligence as an active, intentional part of daily teaching. A few minutes of deliberate movement or breath can shift a room's regulation state more reliably than almost any verbal intervention, and this module makes that tool available on purpose.
What you'll explore
Three lanes of knowing
What's understood about how physical state directly affects cognitive access, attention, and emotional regulation in a classroom.
A short set of movement and breath practices a teacher can use inside an ordinary class period, no special equipment needed.
Reflection on how much this teacher's current practice uses physical intelligence intentionally, versus leaving it to chance.
Outcome
"I have real movement and breath tools I use on purpose to shift my room's state."
