The Kinesthetic Classroom: Teaching and Learning through Movement

Mike’s Most Requested Keynote for Educators, Administrators, Board Members and Education Stakeholders

This best-selling book, graduate course and professional development workshop is also a WOW! keynote experience for thousands of teachers, administrators and educational conference goers across the United States. Not your normal keynote, the audience will be engaged from the word “Go!” The very fundamentals of best teaching practice are engaged in a fun and interactive way. This has got to be experienced to be appreciated!

A great way to start off the school year, create energy at a mid-year day of professional development, send-off to summer planning or to create a vibe at any educational conference!

Your educators, administrators, and school stakeholders leave this results-driven program able to:

understand why movement is critical in the teaching and learning process
recognize the advantage of students who are physically fit and moving during academic time
implement the six-step framework for using movement thoughtfully and purposefully at all grade levels and in all content areas

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.”
