MNRI Treasure Box to Facilitate Learning (Session 2)

January 21, 2023 // 9:00am-4:00pm

Registration Fee: $175

What you get: Powerful brain based strategies to help those you work with of any age to reach their maximum potential, a tasty box lunch, and a fun paced day with like-minded people.

The early movements, prime motor, and reflex patterns that are the foundation of human development are some of the most important functions of the brain and are the basis of successful learning. The Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI庐) method is based on activation of the innate nature of the sensory-motor reflex system to increase self-regulation. This session is all about the skills humans need for optimal learning that are housed in the brain and accessible through specific movements.

THE WHY 鈥� Rationale & Research

• The development of academic skills depends on the appropriate development of the brainstem and sensorimotor integration.
• As the number of non-integrated primary motor reflex patterns in neurotypical children increase, the number and severity of learning challenges correspondingly increase.

THE HOW 鈥� Top 3 Learner Objectives for Participants

• Learn how the six primary motor patterns (1) act as the biomechanics of human development and (2) effect cognitive functioning and neurodevelopment overall.
• Explore the maturational role primary sensory-motor reflexes play in the formation of specific academics and social skill sets that affect self-regulation in a classroom setting.
• Apply and practice hands-on training for each of the six primary motor patterns and these reflex patterns: Hands Grasp, Finger Squeeze, Hands Supporting, Foot Guard, Automatic Walking, Asymmetrical Tonic Neck, Spine Side Flex, Bonding, Confidence Response, and Eye Tracking & Convergence / Divergence.

The New IQ (Session 3)

February 25, 2023 // 9:00am-4:00pm

Registration Fee: $95

What you get: An introduction to the frontiers of assessment in mind, brain, and education, a tasty box lunch and a chance to celebrate yourself and likeminded educators who have participated in any number of sessions in this series.

The New IQ庐 is an assessment developed by Minds-In-Motion鈥檚 Candace Meyer to help educators, parents, and therapists better understand how movement impacts learning, cognition, and self-regulation. Using technology developed for astronaut research at NASA, as well as everyday tools, the various tests included in the New IQ庐 (Integration Quotient庐), we are given a pioneering perspective about the importance of the vestibular system as it relates to optimal human performance.

THE WHY 鈥� Rationale & Research

• Movement changes the brain, legacy testing practices are outdated.
• An overwhelming number of children labeled with Autism, Learning Disabilities, Attentional Deficits, and Speech and Language challenges exhibit significantly underdeveloped motor, balance, and coordination systems. 9

THE HOW 鈥� Top 3 Learner Objectives for Participants

• Understand the various tools associated with non-clinical movement based assessments.
• Participate in a set of movement based assessments that will deepen your understanding of the connection between movement, learning, cognition, and selfregulation.
• Assess yourself and peers using simple tools that can be translated to classroom or home practice to understand more about brain integration.

Understanding the Science of Reading

Spring 2023 Session Dates: February 27 - April 9, 2023

This professional development course is designed for classroom teachers to explore the science of reading and developmental models of reading.

Sage on the Side - Methods and Practices for Teachers that Bring Students to the Center, with a special focus on exam preparation

April 6, 13, & 20, 2023 // ONLINE // COST TO ATTEND: FREE

As we near the spring exam season, join us for 鈥淪age on the Side,鈥� a workshop designed to assist teachers in centering student voice, engagement, and productivity in the classroom, even as they help students prepare for big exams like EoCs and AP/IB tests. 鈥淪age on the Side鈥� is a teaching method that aims to enable student mastery of curriculum by focusing on building knowledge in students with the teacher in the role of the resident expert.

We do this by considering the following:

• What are a teacher鈥檚 models and defining ideas?
• What are your teacher voices saying?
• Why do your past teachers stand out? What are the qualities of that teacher that resonate? What methods did they use? Are these qualities and characteristics a part of your teaching model?
• How does one create this new method of learning and re-think their classroom model?
• What about Assessment and Summative realities?

Our goals:

• To make the student the center of the process
• Engage in the mental and physical practice of 鈥淪age on the Side鈥� so that teachers can implement this strategy in their classroom immediately
• Transform classroom culture

BAL-A-VIS X Part 1 & 2 (Session 5)

April 22 & 23, 2023 // 9:00am-4:00pm

Registration Fee: $175*

What you get: Powerful brain based strategies to help those you work with people of nearly all ages to reach their maximum potential, a tasty boxed lunch, a fun paced day with likeminded people.

Bal-A-Vis-X庐 is a brain integration program that integrates the senses of BALance, AUDitory, and VISion using rhythmic eXercises done with beanbags or racquetballs while standing on the ground or on a balance board. The program consists of 200+ exercises, each rooted deeply in rhythm. Exercises address visual tracking deficiencies and auditory imprecision, impulsivity, balance, and anxiety issues. By virtue of teachable techniques (not athleticism), Bal-A-Vis-X庐 enables body systems to experience the flow of a pendulum, thereby affording brain systems calm and sustained focus.

THE WHY 鈥� Rationale & Research

• Aerobic exercise elevates neurotransmitters, creates new blood vessels that pipe in growth factors, and spawns new cells. Complex activities put all that material to use by strengthening and expanding networks. The more complex the movements, the more complex the synaptic connections.

THE HOW 鈥� Top 3 Learner Objectives for Participants

• Learn the relationship between balance, auditory, and visual systems of the brain and how they impact learning and behavior.
• Learn partner exercises by exchanging bean bags and racquet balls in multiple patterns with multiple goals while learning to maintain or achieve auditory synchronicity via visual cues.
• Practice the safe, slow, steady, repetitive, rhythmic physical movements of Bal-A-Vis X庐 with a master teacher who prepares you to teach others.

Queering the Narrative

February 16, 2022

Throughout the United States, particularly the Deep South, states' legislative assemblies are introducing and considering bills designed to undermine or even illegalize equity and social justice work in educational spaces, particularly in relation to racialized and LGBTQ+ identities.

Drawing from queer theoretical concepts and real-time work, this talk will explore efforts (successful and not) at the university and state levels to resist and rewrite these attempts to undermine academic freedom鈥攑articularly the value of narratives in these efforts. Our conversation will also explore what actions individuals invested in doing this work and resisting these legislative efforts might take.

This event is hosted by the 欧美三级片 Qualitative Advisory Group in collaboration with the David C. Anchin Center for the Advancement of Teaching and the College of Education Graduate Student Council.

Critical Reflections on Sense of Place, the IRB, and What it Means to Stand Strength-to-Strength with Beloved Community Webinar 

Thursday, April 14th, 4-5 pm EST

The Qualitative Advisory Group, in collaboration with the David C. Anchin Center and the College of Education Graduate Student Council, are excited to bring the University of South Florida community into conversation with Dr. Marie Vea.

Marie serves as an Assistant Dean for Student Services at a school of environment and natural resources in a predominantly white institution in the second whitest state. She aspires toward a world where human and more-than-human communities may thrive and loves asking good questions in good company which is partly why it took 10 years to complete her dissertation. What might happen during the hour together? Marie shares some thoughts on sense of place and positionality within academia (and she will ask you to do the same), her journey toward a just IRB process, and what it might mean to stand strength-to-strength with beloved community.

MEET THE SPEAKER:
Marie Vea serves as Assistant Dean for Student Services and Staff Development in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont, working with staff, faculty, and students toward building a community where all beings may thrive.  Her interests include exploring radically inclusive education and multiple ways of knowing.  She believes there is no more compelling time than right now to ask, 鈥淗ow do I meet this moment with courage, vulnerability, and creativity?鈥� 

If you have any questions about this event, please email Dr. Jennifer Wolgemuth or Rachel Hatten.

Racial Justice in Literacy Webinar

August 18, 2021

Join us for a webinar as we discuss how the field of literacy has responded to race and racism through an examination of equity and racial justice in literacy research. During the session, we will present an overview of how race has operated as a construct in literacy research, teaching, and assessment.

Through scenarios that draw on practical experiences with literacy in and beyond classrooms, we invite parents, teachers, administrators, and other stakeholders, to identify how racism functions daily in literacy. In turn, we will provide recommendations for advancing racial justice in literacy research.

Race, Racism, and Speech in the K-12 Classroom

What should teachers and administrators know about this rapidly evolving topic?  Six states have banned critical race theory from their classrooms, and 16 more are considering a ban during their state鈥檚 next legislative session (Brookings Institution,2021). In Florida, critical race theory was deemed by the State Board of Education as 鈥渋nconsistent with State Board approved standards.鈥�

To keep teachers and school administrators informed about these changes and these ongoing national discussions, our featured panelists aim to explore the following questions in the webinar:

• What is critical race theory? What isn鈥檛 critical race theory? What should educators know and understand about critical race theory?
• What should teachers know and understand about student discussion, voice, and speech in the classroom? What student speech is protected?
• What should teachers know and understand about their rights to free speech in the classroom? What speech is protected?
• How can educators鈥攖eachers and administrators, alike鈥攃ontinue to advance efforts for justice and support students鈥� comprehensive and candid understanding of our national history?
• How are state and national politics influencing the passage of legislation and policies regarding classroom speech when it comes to race and racism?
