Rae Pica Speaking Topics
Early childhood is a unique and special period in the lifespan. Or, as Rae likes to say, young children are “a whole different animal.” But, often, those responsible for making decisions for children’s lives and education – parents, teachers, administrators, and policymakers – are unaware of, or have forgotten, this simple fact. Based on her book of the same name, this presentation serves as a reminder, offering research on how children learn best and revealing why “earlier is better” is a myth. Rae invites you to join her as she imagines education in a world where everybody understood child development!
This presentation debunks the myth that the mind and body are separate and unrelated and demonstrates why it’s vital that active learning and physical activity be part of the classroom and the school day, for the sake of both the body and the mind. The research is clear: sitting increases fatigue, reduces concentration, and contributes to behavior challenges. Movement is the solution to all of that!
Developmentally appropriate practice dictates that we educate the whole child in an integrated fashion. But more than ever the trend is toward the mind and body as separate entities, with children regarded as existing only from the neck up. We have the research proving how children learn; now we have to implement best practice! Rae’s presentation informs, entertains, and empowers as she explores the possibilities for uniting mind and body.
