What Schools Don't Teach: 20 Ways to Help Students Excel in School and Life
We learn better on our feet than our seat! Overwhelming research suggests that we have shortchanged a generation of students by creating a sedentary learning environment in our schools. What is the result? Stagnated tests scores, increased behavioral issues, and an epidemic rise in ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and even obesity. This keynote/workshops shows how to increase physical activity in the classroom with cutting edge concepts like SmartFit 15, which can even be used by teachers in the academic classes. We also show how to incorporate more physical activity into STEM classes and how to integrate technology with movement.
Do you have students who are bored, disruptive or off task? It is rarely related to the content, the teacher, or even classroom management, but it is because they lack core and functional strength. Interestingly, core and functional strengths actually develop the frontal lobe of the brain responsible for focus and attention. The greatest issue facing education today is the lack of core and functional development of students, which is detrimental to their learning and success. Want to help your students excel in academics and get healthy? Let them learn on their feet, not their seat!

Our schools and our culture tend to focus on areas of weaknesses or rather than area of strength. However, research shows that focusing on our strengths will make us exponentially more successful. Students are not engaged and motivated because schools focus on their weaknesses but never develop their talents and strengths. Focusing on weaknesses means students achieve mediocrity rather than excellence. However, student engagement, motivation, and success are maximized when we combine Students talents + passions= purpose. The most successful people in any field achieved their success because they developed their talents, not their weaknesses. Learn how to help students and teachers be the “Best You” they can be!
With the emphasis on standardized testing and the common core curriculum, education has created a culture whereby children are only prepared to be students; they are not seen as individuals. While the education continues to focus mainly on standardized testing, What Schools Don't Teach takes into account other important traits needed for success in school and in real world. Characteristics and skills like creativity, perseverance, leadership, integrity, and even communication aren’t easily tested, yet are vital for success in the real world and are actually important to the overall success of students even in standardized testing. Learn how to help students become better readers, improve team building (not group work), instruct the individual, and much more!
