Examining the body's role in learning, from infancy through adulthood she presents the mounting scientific evidence that movement is crucial to learning.Dr. Hannaford offers clear alternatives and remedies that people can put into practice right away to make a real difference in their ability to learn.She advocates more enlightened educational practices for homes and schools including: a more holistic view of each learner; less emphasis on rote learning; more experiential, active instruction; less labeling of learning disabilities; more physical movement; more personal expression through arts, sports and music; less prescribing of Ritalin and other drugs whose long term effects are not even known. Review: A Must Have for Teachers, Therapists and Wise Physical Trainers - As a Z Health and Functional Movement Screen Performance Specialist, an RKC Kettlebell Instructor and a former Corporate Trainer; I have found this book invaluable... and I'm not even half way through it yet! I use a highlighter to mark areas that I find I will want to come back and reference and so far virtually every page is highlighted. Dr. Hannaford doesn't fill the pages with fluff, there is a lot of applicable education about the human nervous system, the different sensory systems of the body and how they all interact. By understanding how neural plasticity works we can determine how we CAN get people walking again, learning into their old age, make ourselves more coordinated and more intelligent, prevent Alzheimer's, eliminate ADD and many types of Autism. The human brain and nervous system is an amazing piece of equipment and Dr. Hannaford breaks it down into understandable chunks. She also provides real examples that both her and others have used to make amazing changes in both adults and children with ailments that were formerly thought of as irreversible and only treatable with drugs. Despite the cover which looks like a kids book (you will get it once you understand that physical play makes you smarter) this is a book written for the dedicated professional. The information would have helped me in my Corporate Training years but now as a strength & fitness trainer and someone who helps others get out of pain, it helps me even more so. Anyone who teaches languages, sports, or anything for that matter; or anyone who helps people get out of pain such as Chiropractors, PTs, etc. must get this book. Train Like An ATHLETE Not A Hamster! Brian Copeland, RKC, PFS [...] [...] brian@bccorefitness.com Review: I wish… - The insights presented in this book are essential for every educator to absorb. Hannaford's concepts emphasize the importance of recognizing that learning goes beyond simply acquiring factual information; it is a fully embodied experience. Implementing these principles into the restructuring of schools would amplify the transformative potential of education for all learners. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #758,172 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #489 in Physiology (Books) #928 in Educational Certification & Development #127,121 in Children's Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 297 Reviews | ## Images ![Smart Moves: Why Learning Is Not All in Your Head - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81V+QpYGrXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Have for Teachers, Therapists and Wise Physical Trainers *by B***D on November 2, 2008* As a Z Health and Functional Movement Screen Performance Specialist, an RKC Kettlebell Instructor and a former Corporate Trainer; I have found this book invaluable... and I'm not even half way through it yet!
