In the fast-paced world of secondary education, students often find themselves overwhelmed with information and stress. Brain breaks offer a vital opportunity to recharge mental batteries, enhance focus, and improve learning outcomes. Incorporating brain breaks into middle and high school classrooms isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity for fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive. By embracing these intentional pauses, we empower our students to recharge, refocus, and excel academically and emotionally. Let's energize education together, one brain break at a time!

Teaching Students to Your Expectations

Thursday August 1, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am CDT
