Course Objectives:

  • Participants will understand and recognize the three types of learning styles.
  • Participants will learn to develop kinesthetic learning activities
  • Participants will explore how to integrate kinesthetic activities into lesson plans on a daily basis.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of Moving Kids to Learn- Science you will be able to:

  • List and describe the three primary learning styles
  • Identify your personal learning style
  • Recognize and identify student learning styles using verbal cues and body language cues
  • Illustrate three variations on a given learning activity to reach all types of student learners
  • Develop and demonstrate a kinesthetic activity addressing a personal teaching challenge
  • Discuss how kinesthetic components can increase scores on standardized tests
  • Identify ways to use existing school resources to facilitate large motor activities
  • Discuss the positive implications of integration of learning styles based teaching methods on student performance in school and in life

Outcomes will be measured by participation in group discussions, demonstrations of activities developed and paper assessments.
