“As a teacher, I use the activity breaks ALL the time! I usually plan one for every 45-60 minutes throughout the day to break up my instruction. It has helped me be more intentional with my teaching time. I am noticing more how students need to break up their learning with movement in order to focus better. It helps me manage their expectations about how long they will need to focus and gives them something to look forward to. The kids get time to be kids! I have noticed that after activity breaks, students are able to focus better and are calmer than they were before. Activity during the day has been helpful in managing behavior and giving students a way to understand their brains on a deeper level. I love InPACT and think it has made me better at managing and pacing my teaching to give students the most out of a lesson.”
