Smart Moves: Why Learning Is Not All In Your Head

Second Edition

By: Carla Hannaford

Narrated by: Lorraine Crowston

Neurophysiologist and educator Dr. Carla Hannaford brings the latest insights from scientific research to questions that affect learners of all ages. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

poor narrative flow

interesting perspectives about learning and movement will influence my instructional practices with all students. The narrator sounds artificial which made focusing on the content challenging.

Great Material; Lousy Narration

I have read this paperback several times and the material is indispensable for teachers, parents, and movement therapists like myself. I almost never write reviews, but can barely listen to this recording because the narrator sounds partially AI-generated with non-sensical prosody . I would recommend reading the book which is 5 stars all around - even many years after publication.
