12 FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING READINESS12 FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING READINESSCROSSING THE MIDLINE:Cross LateralizationBODY IN SPACE:Vestibular/ProprioceptionBALANCE:Spatial OrientationWhen information moves from left to right andfront to back in the brain, it crosses midlineswhich integrates the brain hemispheres andorganizes the brain. Cross lateralization aidsthe brain in placing words on a page, readingwords from left to right and writing patterns insequence.Activities that develop the vestibularsystem coordinate the auditory, visual,and kinesthetic senses. Including spatialawareness, body control, dynamic balance, aswell as locomotor skill development. Theseconcepts aid the brain in putting numbers orletters in sequence, discriminating differentsounds, placing letters and words on a page,and writing letters in proper proportions.We get information about where we are inspace from our feet not our seat. Balancingactivities challenge the brain to adjust its spatialorientation using the proprioceptive system. Balancing helps the brain to place words on apage, to read from left to right and to writepatterns in sequence.MOTOR SKILLS:Locomotor & Non-LocomotorEYE/HAND/FOOT COORDINATION:Manipulative SkillsPHYSICAL FITNESS:Strength and FlexibilityThe brain uses motor skills to lay the frameworkfor learning. The brain’s cerebellum controlsmotor skills, agility, and coordination. Theseconcepts aid the brain in following the flow ofwords, sequencing patterns in math andreading, solving problems, and sortinginformation.Thirty-five percent of the brain’s motor cortex isdedicated to the use of the hands and the feet.The motor cortex helps the brain transfer whatwe are thinking to the paper. Therefore, 35% ofthe brain’s ability to transfer information to thepaper depends on good eye-hand, eye-footcoordination.Developing the muscular system providessupport for the relay of messages throughout thecentral nervous system. Oxygen can then flowfreely, supplying fuel to the brain. Upper bodyand hand strength allows the student to write forlonger periods.AB L L A B .

These concepts aid the brain inencoding the stroke of each symbol of lettersand numbers, following words from left to rightand focusing on reading for longer periods.Activities that develop the vestibularsystem coordinate the auditory, visual,and kinesthetic senses. Including spatialawareness, body control, dynamic balance, aswell as locomotor skill development. Theseconcepts aid the brain in following the flow ofwords, sequencing patterns in math andreading, solving problems, and sortinginformation.What makes us move is what also makes usthink. The brain uses motor skills to lay theframework for learning. The brain’s cerebellumcontrols motor skills, agility and coordination. When the cerebellum is working well, cognitivefunction increases. Activities that involve movingthe legs to move the body activate and storeBDNF. BDNF acts as fertilizer for the brain. Exercise benefits the brain by changing thebrain at a molecular level. Since the brain doesnot produce its own fuel, it relies oncardiovascular exercise to pump oxygenatedblood to the brain to use as fuel. PhysicalActivity and exercise change the learning stateto optimize retention and retrieval of memory.The prefrontal cortex and the cerebellum areconnected. The prefrontal cortex controlsexecutive functions like decision making,problem solving, memory, language, emotionsand attention. Practicing academic conceptsusing movement promotes myelination of thenew information and the growth of secondarydendritic branching for better retention andretrieval of memory.Students need tools to learn to self-manage theirdesired learning state. Learning and properresponses to environmental cues, such as how tobe part of a group, prepares students to reactmore appropriately. Being aware of how ourbodies and brains work together can be used tocalm down or energize appropriately.VISUAL DEVELOPMENT:Encoding SymbolsRHYTHM:Beat Awareness/CompetencyTACTILE LEARNING:Sensory Motor & Fine Motor SkillsAB L L A B .

Physical movement is layered with academic practice toincrease academic success and positive behaviors in theclassroom. Purposeful movement allows for a continuoussupply of two vital brain nutrients (Glucose and Oxygen) tothe brain. The result is a more active and attentive brain. Incontrast, research also shows long periods of inactivity areshown to negatively affect cognitive development, andpossibly hinder the ability to retain and absorb newinformation.Align the brain and body back into hormonal balance, which in turn, regulates mood and behavior. The release ofepinephrine hormone is a key factor in preventing drowsy and tired students. Hormones including dopamine andserotonin, are released during movement and can be directly related to improved mood and behavior. Active classroomsshow higher attendance levels and drastically reduced referral rates.Success in school depends upon a student’s ability todecrease their stress.

ABLlooks different in each school, and not all schools have labs. Thebeauty of Action Based Learning is that these concepts don't have tobe practiced in a lab, movement and learning can be practicedanywhere!I can think of so many times, the brain room was a lifesaver for ourstudents. One example that comes to mind, was way back when wefirst started the lab. A young man, very upset with his teacher andanother student, came into my office shaking mad.... and cussing upa storm. He got on a pedal desk and pedaled, and grabbed akoosh ball to fidget with. In a matter of minutes, he was calm andwanted to talk! That was a pivotal moment for me, because I wasseeing firsthand that the ABL Lab was doing so much more thanhelping them academically, it was improving their well being. Thatwas just the beginning of the many aha moments I would experiencewith my student's in the lab. Today, it's common practice. If they areupset, we get them moving. If they just sit, they just stay mad.Bottom line is this is what is best for kids. We have all the researchto back up using this strategy. Students are more engaged andremember more, which helps their academic achievement.Movement helps behavior by shifting the blood flow in the brain. It istruly amazing to see how fast a student can de-escalate just throughmovement. It works.In 2013, piloted 1 ABL lab.
