"Mike Kuczala offers the most meaningful, engaging, relevant and fun professional development I have attended in over 20 years as an educator! In 2009, I spent my first 20 minutes training with Mike Kuczala at an Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development conference and my path as an educational leader has never been the same! I knew I had to bring the energy and excitement I felt back to my team and have hosted Mike at Challenge Charter School every school year since. My staff looks forward to his hands-on approach as well as the team building and movement that are woven into the fabric of his teaching. He brings his research to his own practice, always evolving as a lead expert in physical activity, brain compatible methods, staff and student motivation, and student and staff wellness. His impact on our school, teachers, students, and community is profound and beyond measure.”

"Mike Kuczala’s keynote was motivating, energizing and practical. Our delegates were on their feet moving to Mike’s message. He was our first keynote speaker and inspired all of us to embrace - physically and intellectually - the importance of the brain/body connection in student learning. Finally he is down to earth, caring and low maintenance!!!!! We loved him!"

"Mike’s presentation was different from other speakers from the outset. He had us up and moving, experiencing first-hand the effects that movement can have on the brain. Mike wove in the theory and background information seamlessly as we went through different activities so we sufficiently understood the impact that incorporating more movement in the classroom can have. I’ve never seen workshop participants have so much fun while learning and at the same time walk away equipped with so many new tools to use in the classroom."

"Mike’s speech struck a note with everyone in the audience as it provided practical ideas for everyone to take away to implement positive change. Mike provided a blueprint and tools to exploit the brain and body connection to inspire and enhance skills for all. He was also humble, kind and helpful, and happy to develop ideas further with smaller groups. We are very excited to be working with Mike again in 2020 as he joins us at our Leadership Conference in Madrid."

Mike Kuczala is the perfect speaker. He knows his topic and the information just flows as he talks about movement and learning. Plus we moved and learned as part of his keynote talk; how fun and engaging is that! Mike is the 'go to guy' when you want information about movement and learning.”

“Here is a resource (The Kinesthetic Classroom) that is based on sound research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology and filled with practical suggestions on how to incorporate movement into all kinds of learning activities at every grade level. The Kinesthetic Classroom is a must-have book for every educator who wants to improve student motivation and achievement.” |
" Kuczala makes a compelling case for involving movement in every training course, professional development program, conference, and seminar . . . An easy, engaging read, Training in Motion will shake up—quite literally—the way you design classroom training and blended learning programs." |
