About Our Professional Development Workshops for Educators

Math & Movement’s professional development teacher workshops train educators on incorporating multi-sensory learning into their instruction. We share practical kinesthetic, auditory, and visual strategies designed to suit every student’s needs.

Our workshops provide meaningful professional development for educators by modeling what movement-based instruction looks and feels like in real time. Rather than sitting and listening, teachers participate in hands-on activities using Math & Movement materials. Educators will leave with ideas they can use right away in their classrooms.

Our teacher workshops are valuable if you’re brand new to our program or if your school has already purchased Math & Movement materials. Whether you’re looking for a school-wide training or support for a specific instructional goal, our workshops offer flexible, high-impact PD for teachers that meets educators where they are.

With a focus on encouragement, practicality, and real classroom application, Math & Movement workshops help educators feel confident bringing purposeful movement into everyday instruction.

A Comprehensive Professional Development

Our PD sessions cover brain science, practical classroom strategies, trauma-informed approaches, and more, ensuring educators are fully equipped to implement Math & Movement effectively.

Enhances Learning Through Physical Activity

We use the positive link between movement and learning to increase learning, improve concept retention, and boost self-confidence.

Meets State Standards & Adds Math Practice

Math & Movement is aligned with many state standards and can help increase students' test scores while reducing anxiety surrounding learning.

Support Diverse Learning Needs

Learn easy-to-apply and powerful techniques to increase math practice throughout the day, reach the different types of learners in your school, and make math accessible to all students.

Flexible Workshop Formats

Math & Movement teacher workshops can be customized to meet your school or district’s needs. Options include:

On-site, in-person professional development workshops
Virtual workshops
Half-day or full-day formats
Grade-level, school-wide, or district-wide training

We work closely with schools to ensure that our PD for teachers aligns with instructional goals and educator training priorities.

Our professional development workshops are designed for:

Elementary classroom teachers (K-6)
Interventionists and instructional coaches
School and district administrators

What Makes a Math & Movement Workshop Different

Unlike traditional sit-and-listen professional development, Math & Movement teacher workshops are:

Highly interactive – Educators move, practice, and participate.
Classroom-ready – Our strategies can be used immediately.
Research-backed – These professional development workshops are grounded in cognitive science and child development.
Supportive and practical – Our PD for teachers is designed to make educators feel confident, not overwhelmed.

Through active participation and discussion, teachers experience movement-based learning the same way students do – by doing it.
