What is a teaching artist?
Teaching Artists are performers that teach their discipline and art form, fusing curricular connections into classroom activities to produce a transformational learning enviornment.
Intrinsic motivation is developed in students as they expand their vision using mime, music, theatre, dance, storytelling and literature to enhance their daily studies.
Teaching artists are vibrant, stimulating, commanding, colorful, educators that make learning 'Fun' while building self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline in students. Theatre arts education is their speciality! The teaching tool box of each educator is enhanced with conflict resolutions and new classroom management techniques.
Choose a Georgia Council for the Arts teaching artist for a professional development inservice, icebreaker, or residency. Make Fun-da-Mental Learning FUN!

BRAIN GYM!
Make learning fun with BRAIN GYM activities in your classroom!
Brain Gym is a series of simple and enjoyable movements that are used to enhance a students experience of whole brain learning.
These activities are a part of a larger work known as Educational Kinesology or Edu-K!
All types of learning is made easier with Edu-K, empowering learners of any age by using movement activities to draw out hidden potential and make it readily available.
Discovered by Paul & Gail Dennison, Brain Gym and Edu-K for Kids is a powerful tool for any educator. www.braingym.com
Through movement repattering and anchoring Brain-Gym activities enable students to access those parts of the brain previously inaccessable to them students enjoy the whole-brain learning expereince.
Teachers will note profound behavior and learning patterns easily change as the students discover how to recall information and express themselves.
Brain gym is based upon three simple premises:
1. Learning is natural, joyous activity that continues throughout life.
2. Learning blocks are the inability to move through the stress of uncertainty of a new task.
3. We are all "learning blocked" to the extent that we have learned NOT to MOVE.
Bring Aima Bey to your school so that she can share the easy to learn alternatives to tension that can be used to awaken the "GENIUS" in your students!
