About this Learning Opportunity
This catalyst/strategic learning opportunity with the best selling author, Dr. John J. Ratey is being offered in partnership with Inclusive Learning, Edmonton Public Schools. This session will share the theory behind his research findings of how exercise affects the developing brain, learning, academics and regulation.
The day will provide you with practical examples/activities and ways you could incorporate his theories into practice the next day when you go back to schools.
While exercise is good for the body, Dr. John J. Ratey, MD, argues it is more important for the brain, especially when it comes to students in the classroom. Citing scientific studies and real world examples, this internationally recognized expert in the brain-exercise connection demonstrates how we can raise test scores, lower behavioral problems, and help the overall well-being of today's students with fitness based physical education.
