  3. Chance to Laugh/Learn/Share What’s wrong with the picture Chances to “Move to Improve” Movement & Music/Brain Development/Math Reinforcement & School Success Expectations

  4. You will remember: 10% -Read 20% -Hear 30% -See 50% -See & Hear 70% -Discuss 80% -EXPERIENCE 95% -TEACH SOMEONE ELSE - William Glasser “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”Will Rogers

  5. Trends* Among U.S. Adults (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4”person)

  6. OBESITY

  7. Trends* Among Children • An overweight adolescent has 70% chance of becoming an overweight adult. • More overweight children are going into hospitals for diabetes (including Type 2), sleep apnea, asthma, hypertension and high blood pressure. • Obesity shortens the lifespan by 9 years • The costs of childhood obesity more than tripled in the last 20 years to $127 million.

  8. How much activity separates normal weight from overweight/obese children 12,000 steps for girls 15,000 steps for boys Converted to time… 107 minutes for girls 137 minutes for boys How Many Steps – BMI Referenced Standards* *Tudor-Locke, C., et.al. (2004). BMI-referenced standards for recommended pedometer-determined steps/day in children. Preventative Medicine

  9. Where Students Accumulate Activity Morgan, C. F., Pangrazi, R. P., & Beighle, A. (2003). Using pedometers to promote physical activity in physical education. Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance, 74(7), 33-38.

  10. the one fact that every paleoanthropologist on the planet accepts can be summarized in two words:WE MOVED Brain Rules- John Medina

  11. Music, rhythm, repetitive practice of patterns … using balance and eye-tracking are all powerful tools for physical and mental learning. Vanessa Sluming, University of Liverpool, 2002, UK Brain Development

  12. To improve our brains, we have to move our bodies… Exercises involving learning a series of complex movements while coordinating one’s balance have been proven to generate a greater number of connections between neurons. These connections make it easier for children of all ages to learn. SPARK John Ratey, Harvard Medical School, , 2001 & 2008 Brain Development

  13. Brain-compatible learning means that educators should weave math, movement, geography, social skills, role play, science, and recreational music lessons. Larry Abraham, University of Texas, 1997 Brain Development

  14. 3rd grade children significantly improved multiplication knowledge -increased test score by 30% Using music with multiplication problems – children moved to the correct answer Children with special needs were noted to be especially engaged and successful in the learning process Math, Music, & Movement Increases Learning • Math Research Pilot Study

  15. Academic Performance Research indicates that academic performance is influenced by several factors: • Healthy Nutrition • Positive Environment • Music and Arts • Physical Activity & Movement • Sleep/Rest Optimal Learning Development

  16. Repetitive gross motor movement balances brain chemicals that calm behavior and elevates self esteem and self worth and accommodates ADD/ADHD (Jensen) Exercise triggers BDNF that increases neuronal communication (Squires) What makes us move is also what makes us think (Hesslow) GeoFitness = Linking Movement & Learning

  17. RAS/Vestibular systems are turned on through movement for reading, math, and language (Hannaford) Enthusiastic movement has been shown to improve behavior, mental focus, and memory retention of ADHD students (Wendt) Exercise has the same effect and benefit as anti-depressant medications (Ratey) Amazingly, the same part of the brain that’s processes movement is the same part of the brain that’s processing learning (Strick) GeoFitness = Linking Movement & Learning

  18. Dr. Jerry Thomas-Veterinarian & Taxidermist . . . EITHER WAY…. YOU GET YOUR DOG BACK. CALL-XXX-XXX-XXXX COMMUNICATION

  19. Physical activity is positively associated with academic performance Dwyer, Blizzard, and Dean, 1996 Mitchell &Scheuer , 2003 1. Prescribe Movement & Physical Activity P H Y S I C A L E D U C A T I O N

  20. Students who participated in school physical education programs did not experience a harmful effect on their standardized test scores, though less time was available for other academic subjects Sallis, McKenzie, Kolody, Lewis, Marshall, and Rosengard, 1999, Shephard 1983 Dwyer, Coonan, Leitch, Hetzel, and Baghurst, 1983 2. Involved in local schools-Advisory Capacity-Increase Physical Education Time-CHAMPION THE CAUSE P H Y S I C A L E D U C A T I O N

  21. I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day . . . I’d rather one should walk with me than merely show the way. The eye is a better pupil and more willing than the ear. Fine counsel is confusing, but examples always clear. See A Sermon

  22. I soon can learn to do it, if you’ll let me see it done. I can see your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run. And the lectures you deliver may be very fine and true, but I’d rather get a lesson by observing what you do.

  23. For I may misunderstand you and the HIGH ADVICE you GIVE,BUT there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you LIVE!!Edgar Guest

  38. Movement is a central mission of the brain. Movement facilitates cognition (Sylvester) Bodily Kinesthetic is one of eight multiple intelligences (Gardner) Raising the heart rate oxygenates the brain and feeds it glucose (brain food) at a greater rate (Ratey) GeoFitness = Linking Movement & Learning

  39. More Movement – Smarter Kids http://articles.familylobby.com/79-more-movement-smarter-kids.htm As Einstein so succinctly pointed out, “Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.” The cerebellum, the part of the brain previously associated with motor control only, is now known to be a “virtual switchboard of cognitive activity.” Eric Jensen GeoFitness = Linking Movement & Learning More Movement – Smarter Kidshttp://articles.familylobby.com/79-more-movement-smarter-kids.htm

  40. Partnerships and Philanthropy Physical Therapists/Great funding partners Participants-5th graders Pursuit & Parents Policy-Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 2004-Wellness Policies Physical Activity Education, Employee Wellness, Before & After School Programs(21st Century Grants), Counselor Educators, Cross Curricular, Athletics & Activities The Power of P’s
