Last month two of our staff members attended an Action Based Learning training presented by Jean Blaydes Madigan in San Diego. Stephanie Konopaske (PE) and Angie Suffridge (Administrator) of Eli Terry Jr. Middle School are now Action Based Learning Certified Trainers. Action Based Learning is based on the neuroscience behind the statement "exercise grows brain cells," incorporating more activity time during the school day and more academic concepts into existing movement time.
Stephanie and Angie are already putting into practice what they have learned, working with math classes as well as elementary teachers. In addition, professional development in the area for more district staff is being planned.
