The Pivot to Play ® Play Powered Classroom: Level 1
The Pivot to Play ® Play Powered Classroom: Level 1 provides an easy-to-digest foundation helping you understand why learning and behavior improve when kids move. Pivot to Play® uses brain-based, movement-driven games to turn student energy into focus, confidence, and real learning. Designed for real classrooms, our professional development and classroom programs transform “too much energy” into powerful momentum. Less chaos. More connection. More engaged students.
In Level 1, we will take a look at the current health statistics, education facts, and leisure behaviors, then analyze how they lead to a sedentary culture. Once we have examined the current trends, we will begin our foray into foundational principles of movement and how they connect directly to classroom success, from behavior to cognition.
