THE BIG PICTURE:
Children learning successfully while assisting each other
happily and supportively in a positive co-creative
environment. Commonly, their self responsibility model is also
taken home to help family relationships, stresses and
'aliveness'. Creating healthier and happier
families and communities who love to communicate and are excited about
life long learning.
TEACHER'S TIPS
OF THE WEEK
Challenge:
You notice that Johnny is having difficulty sitting still
with what appears to be a very uncomfortable and stressful
maths task. His concentration is diminished and he
begins to distract others quietly working around him.
Solutions:
Quietly ask Johnny to go to the back of the room and do a series of
Cross Crawl
or say to him: "Johnny, I've notices that
you are having difficulty sitting still so I though that you
may like to have a run to stretch your legs." Johnny
nods with a big smile of relief.
"Would you please take this note to Mr Jones in room 32.
He is at the other side of the school. I'd like you to
run with large steps to his class room and then do some 'Cross Crawl' and
'Calf Pump' out side our class room if you feel you need too."
(You have an arrangement set up with Mr Jones for this
purpose).
The next time
that Johnny can't focus, (leading to uncontrollable
wriggling), instead of 'trying harder' which always results
in him becoming more uncomfortable and disruptive, he comes
to you requesting if he can deliver a note to Mr Jones.
The children tend to really appreciate your support and
acknowledgement of his
learning difficulty, becomes self managing, happier and more
confident with achieving given tasks with greater success.

After an initial training
course, many Teachers are easily and successfully using and experimenting with Brain Gym in
their classrooms. They are consistently seeing many beneficial changes in their pupils as well as their own stress levels.
Their student's work more happily and more constantly. They are more relaxed even in the play ground as students begin to self moderate
successfuly with 2 minutes of Brain Gym to settle arguments and agressive behaviour.
Even more beneficial is when Brain Gym is
promoted as a whole school policy. Many school senior staff and teachers have been asking for advice on the best way to
achieve this.
|
In response The Brain Gym
Centre of WA evolved a package called "STRESS FREE LEARNING FOR SCHOOL
AND HOME" as a guide to planning the systematic implementation of Brain Gym
into the school. The goal is to introduce Brain Gym to the
school and integrate its use into the Teaching and Learning
process. This will assist in promoting measurable
improvements in:
- ETHOS of the whole
school.
- ATTAINMENT of the whole
school with consistently higher academic results.
- CHILD CENTRED
INDEPENDENT LEARNING
- IMPROVEMENT IN SOCIAL
INTERACTIONS - especially with violent behaviour.
- A CO-CREATIVE AND EASILY
SUSTAINABLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
- HAPPIER AND MORE RELAXED STUDENTS AND
STAFF
