Our Team
Mission Statement
Our team has come together to collaborate on designing an action research project to systematically evaluate and analyze our teaching practices as elementary school teachers. Our goal is to improve teaching and learning in our schools and increase student performance.
Themes in Our Literature Review
While conducting our literature review, our team has noticed some themes in the research:
- Teachers are looking to brain breaks as a way to increase focus and reduce distraction in the classroom.
- There are a variety of types of brain breaks available to use, including yoga, deep breathing exercises, and even movement breaks that have an educational component.
- Several studies have found that brain breaks do increase focus, and reduce off-task and oppositional behaviors.
A question that has arisen out of this research is...
- What happens within the brain during brain breaks that make it
beneficial to students including improved behavior and academic choices?
We are refining our problem statement based on the data that we are encountering. Stay tuned!
