    Putting Research Into “Action”: The Impact of Brain Energizers on Off-task Behaviors and Academic Achievement
    (New Prairie Press, 2021-04) Buchanan, Rebecca; Davis, Lauren; Cury, Trisha
    There are many factors influencing the learning environment in public school settings. As such, the recognition of developing a multidimensional approach incorporating a variety of “tools” for a teacher’s toolbox can prove to be very effective. Research indicates that movement is one such tool that can increase the capacity for students to learn (Ratey, 2008). The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of brain energizers in a 1st grade classroom in rural Appalachia. Results of the study indicated that brain energizers had a positive effect on off-task behaviors as well as academic achievement. The incorporation of movement is also recommended as one strategy to mitigate the impact of childhood trauma.
