    Grant #2 – Action Based Learning Lab

    By 549 Family | PROJECTS | Comments are Closed | 14 October, 2018 | 1

    Action Based Learning Labs are a great way to get students engaged in their learning through movement. There are numerous stations throughout the lab that incorporate critical movement while students are working on different subjects, such as spelling, math facts, sight words, and more. The movement helps students work on balance, focus, self-management skills, hand-eye coordination, cardiovasuclar endurance, dexterity, muscular strength, following directions, number facts, and tactile learning skills. In simplified terms, it helps them move and get their wiggles out so they can return to the classroom reset and ready to learn.

    Our students continue to need more opportunities for movement throughout the day to increase their learning. Many of our students have self regulation deficits and are not getting the movement breaks they need during and after school. ABL provide a foundation to incorporate critical movement throughout the day to increase focus, mood, and learning for our students.

    Here are some excerpts from the Action Based Learning website:

    Action Based Learning™ is based on the brain research that strongly supports the link between movement and learning. We know that healthy, active students, make better learners! So how do we apply this to the classroom? Action Based Learning provides educational training that focuses on creating an optimal learning environments for all students, through movement. ABL strategies are teacher friendly, time efficient, and most importantly – make learning fun for students. Students engaged in Action Based Learning show improved memory retention, increased focus and attention, improved grades, and less behavioral issues.

    Action Based Learning Labs are designed to prepare the brain for learning. Each active learning station in the lab, applies what we know about the brain body connection by focusing on the 12 foundations of Learning Readiness. For example, the body’s vestibular system controls balance and spatial awareness. Strengthening these foundations facilitates the students ability to place words and letters on a page. When a student walks or crawls in specific patterns, the brain’s ability to encode symbols is increased. Proper development and remediation of these systems are critical to a childs’ ability to learn.

    One students balances on a device while giving the other a sight word to spell. The other student has to throw the ball at the letters to spell the word.
    These students are following directions in doing yoga while working on their balance and core strength.
    The students walk along different mediums to work on their balance and coordination. Then they bear crawl across the ladder calling out the different colors that their hands touch.
    One student balances while calling out words that the other student has to spell. The second students moving around on a "snowboard."
