What Teachers Need to Know About The American Rescue Plan – Q&A
What is the American Rescue Plan? Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students have fallen behind in their learning. The sheer fact that schools were not immediately equipped for the damage

Do you want more success for your students? Do you want getting to that success to be more fun?
Teachers from the National Math Foundation’s 2015 Summer Institute had great things to say about the content and delivery of terrific kinesthetic learning techniques.
“Thank you for helping me grow my passion for teaching again! I felt like my time and teaching was in vain sometimes. You gave me something to be excited about again.”
“I learned so much and made wonderful contacts. Loved the warm atmosphere of the workshop. Thank you so much!”
“The Institute was awesome! I can’t wait to show the movements, mats, and data to the faculty at my school! I know they will be just as excited as I am! We are already looking forward to doing a Family Fun Night at our school!”
“The growth for me personally and for my student is amazing! This is a very powerful institute! Thank you!”
The National Math Foundation is offering two 2016 Summer Institutes: 1) June 13-16 in Chattanooga, Tennessee or 2) August 8-11 in Ithaca, New York.
As one of the primary content providers for the Summer Institute, we encourage classroom teachers, math coaches, PE teachers, special education, RTI specialists, and all other educators to attend this exciting professional development! During the Institute, participants will become fully trained on the Math & Movement program, gain valuable strategies to implement movement based learning in the classroom (not just Math & Movement), collaborate with same subject teachers, experience a variety of presentations from movement-based learning experts and use what they have learned with students.
NMF will also be conducting a Super Fun Math Camp with students in grades K-5 at the same time as the Institute. Participants will work one-on-one and in small groups with these students.

Scholarships are available to teachers in some areas. There are also vendor opportunities for the event in Ithaca. Please reach out to the National Math Foundation at info@nationalmathfoundation.org.
Thank you for all you do for kids and your community!

Studies suggest that growth mindsets counter the fight-or-flight response, helping us to view social problems as challenges. This helps us to adapt, change, and grow—the chief characteristics of resilience. When we promote the belief that people truly have the potential to change, we free up ourselves and others to actually do that. Overall, fostering a growth mindset in a child’s early years are critical.
Do you think you are a kinesthetic learner? Are you an educator who is trying to learn more about your students’ learning styles? Keep reading to learn more about common characteristics of kinesthetic learners.
All of these math activities offer children a chance to get outdoors and have fun while practicing their math skills. Parents, teachers, and camp counselors can use an outdoor summer math activity to keep kids engaged and learning. Overall, be sure to celebrate a child’s success and HAVE FUN! 🙂
