Description
Study after study shows that kids who get regular physical activity, even just a minute or two, experience improvements not just in their fitness levels, but in brain function, too. In addition, we have seen great improvement in classroom management issues, increasing the enjoyment and productivity of your teaching time!
Some kids are wrigglers and some are mind-wanderers, while some are able to stay focused in long periods. These Brain & Body Boosters are exercises that can calm and clear the mind, relieve tension and stress and increase concentration, focus and attention span. No matter who you’re teaching, all your students can benefit from a short physical break during the day without losing too much valuable teaching time.
Vendor Information
After 20+ years of teaching in primary and secondary schools, Juliette Watts (née Lovius) realised traditional classrooms often fail to support many children, causing them to feel 'dumb' for not achieving in standardised assessments.
Seeking to understand more about challenging educational contexts, Juliette earned two Masters Degrees in Human Rights and Education, and International Development Education. Her research took her to Ireland, The Netherlands and East Africa, where she explored how children’s brains can adapt and learn even in traumatic situations.
In 2011, she founded Lovius Educational Consultancy, creating Flourish Tutoring - a program harnessing the brain's ability to form new connections to help struggling children succeed and build self-esteem. Now based in Australia, Juliette works with schools, families and communities, focusing on non-traditional educational strategies.
The resources Juliette creates for Lovius Educational Consultancy are rigorously researched and repeatedly tested in classrooms. Her goal is to support teachers to provide meaningful and differentiated learning opportunities with maximum effect on students and minimal drain on teacher time.
