Mike is well known throughout the world for his work in creating kinesthetic classrooms – places where movement, physical literacy, and embodied cognition meet motivation, differentiation, academic achievement, and joy.
"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 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’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."
