This instructor is so at ease with teaching! Her ideas will resonate with all teachers who work with children and adults. She has offered so many ideas for brain breaks and movement in your classroom that you find items to use that you are comfortable with. Her encouragement and creativity on how to use these activities has spurred my thoughts to add them throughout my whole day. I am going to use her ideas during our next staff meeting when everyone looks like they need to be re-engaged.
