Great ideas.
Nicole – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
WOW! This course was fantastically phenomenal! I am so motivated & excited to utilize the kinesthetic techniques within my classroom ASAP. I can definitely foresee my students becoming more engaged in learning and motivated in wanting to attend school. I think that these techniques would be great for us as adults during trainings or staff developments, because we need brain breaks too.
