Training in Motion: How to Use Movement to Create Engaging and Effective Learning: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Training in Motion: How to Use Movement to Create Engaging and Effective Learning" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

When people are kept from moving - whether theyre sitting through a presentation or stuck behind a desk - they become restless and their attention waivers. Yet most training ignores the innate human desire for motion, resulting in participants learning less. Based on the latest neuroscience research, Training in Motion explains how movement enhances learning and introduces a unique and highly effective way to energize an audience and increase retention through simple body-focused techniques. The book shows readers how to: tie lessons to movement to reinforce concepts; manage learners physical and emotional states to increase engagement and bolster memory; use posture, physical gestures, and other movements to command interest; employ quick physical breaks to efficiently refocus students; and turn lackluster sessions into high-achieving learning environments. Practical, accessible, and packed with activities, this one-of-a-kind book helps readers add a kinesthetic component to their training so that participants stay motivated, and apply what theyve learned long after theyve left the classroom.

imparted. Thank you.

Foreword

Several years ago, I was conducting a train-the-trainer program, and I asked people what they wanted out of the course. Most of the answers were traditional responses, but one surprised me. The individual, who had been in one of my programs before, sat up and said, I want to train and educate people like you do. You not only make it fun and engaging, but people remember and apply what they have learned in a way that I have never experienced before. I am back to learn what you do and how you do it. I was humbled, but not at my abilities. Rather, I understood that I had learned my techniques from Mike Kuczala.

The purpose of Training in Motion is to do something that the traditional texts do not teach, and that is to make your training more effective by tailoring your delivery and content to the way the brain and body learn best. Movement matters, and Training in Motion is practical, realistic, and simple to use. It will give you results. After reading this book and incorporating Mikes principles into your teaching, an average trainer will become good, and the good trainer will become great.

As a human resources executive, professional trainer, and academic, the material contained in Training in Motion is relevant to most aspects of my work. First, the book is written in a manner that is easy to understand, easy to explain, and easy to implement. It is logical. The activities contained in each chapter actually put into practice what you have read and learned. In addition, as a training and learning professional, it helps you to understand the reason behind what you are doing, why it works, how to do it, and things to avoid. This book gives you the tools to you need. Training in Motion is not about games trainers play. For those of us who train professionally, training is not a game. Rather it is about the principles, practices, activities, and exercises that enhance the transfer of knowledge, skills, and abilities. Training in Motion makes learning come alive.

When I was asked to write the Foreword to Mikes book, I was floored. My first reaction was, couldnt they get anyone else? But Mike told me he didnt want anyone else. I thought about our first meeting. It was several weeks after I experienced Mikes program that focused on classroom learning for children. His first book, The Kinesthetic Classroom, is a fantastic tool for those in that line of work. It changed the way I taught younger people. As a corporate person, I knew applying those elements would rock the training world. After the session, we briefly talked about how the same concepts could be applied to training in the business world. As a follow up, we had dinner at a Korean restaurant in Manhattan. We talked about how to use Mikes expertise in a way that is currently not being done on a large scale in corporations. There are a lot of trainers peddling their services, but not a lot of great trainers. We talked about writing a book. I forgot about that until Mike asked me to write this Foreword. Successful people say what they will do and do what they say they will do. I expect that Training in Motion will allow you to reach a new level of effectiveness and professional development as it did for me.

Preface

Our innate desire to be in constant motion is a key survival characteristic of humans. People pace when forced to stand in a line or doodle on a piece of paper if caught in a boring meeting. Certainly, technological gadgetry and the expectation that we need to be in constant contact with the world is partly to blame, but at the heart of all this caged up gotta move behavior is a basic, instinctual need for movement.
