LEARN HOW TO CREATE PILATES LESSON PLANS THAT NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE Craft effective (comprehensive) lesson plans for group classes and private instruction that leave you feeling confident to safely guide others through movement. Think Reformer, Wunda Chair, Mat, and Cadillac! This eBook will teach you how to plan your lessons with spring efficiency, already established exercise orders, and safe ways to introduce movements that can be regressed and progressed for varying skill levels. Plus, the entire book is interactive with links to over 70 videos filmed specifically for this reference guide! THIS GUIDE IS FOR YOU IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO: - Sharpen your lesson planning skills - Explore the Pilates method as a whole - Develop your own unique teaching style - Switch from a Contemporary background to Classical - Gain practical advice from someone who’s been in your shoes! I'll never forget the first time I taught a group class. It was a HOT MESS to say the least.. I knew the exercises in my body, but communicating them to a group of 10 people was a different story. Fast-forward to almost 10 years later, thousands of classes and bodies taught, hundreds of lessons taken, and 8+ years of continued education—I know what works. BUT, it hasn't always been like that. I'm going to share what I've learned over the past 10 years that's helped me and hopefully it will spare you from some of my mistakes. FROM TRENDY TO TIMELESS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE (NOTHING IS) But it's the right move if you're: - Comprehensively trained in all the Pilates apparatus and looking to polish up your group lesson planning skills beyond just the Reformer - Wanting to further explore Pilates and how to piece together movement patterns using the mat, Reformer, Tower, and Wunda Chair - Coming from a Contemporary background and thinking about exploring Classical Pilates - Looking for a resource to grow with beyond Teacher Training manuals - Currently an apprentice still learning Pilates - Unapologetically curious! You want guidance, templates, and practical advice from someone (me!) who's been there and successfully taught group classes and private lessons time and time again. HERE ARE THE DETAILS: In the eBook, I'll spill my most important lessons learned and teach you how to create one-of-a-kind lesson plans that cater to varying skill levels. We'll cover the essential stuff like: - How to pick exercises that warm up and center the body for all skill levels - How to find your unique and authentic teaching style - How to speak less to communicate more effectively - How to provide individual attention in a group class setting - Plus with over 70+ videos filmed explaining the exercise setup, spring, repetitions, and goal, this eBook is a reference for LIFE! So, to recap: Come for the education, stay for the videos and easy to follow orders, and leave with confidence to teach well thought out classes that will leave your clients feeling strong and empowered! FAQS Q: Is this a teacher training manual? A: No, this is a resource guide that pieces together information already learned during previous teacher trainings. Q: What orders are provided? A: Basic, Intermediate, & Advanced mat and Reformer + Joseph Pilates' Return to Life Mat. You also get three (3) sample lesson plans utilizing a mix of mat, Reformer, Cadillac, and Chair! Q: Will I have lifetime access to the eBook? A: Yes! And you'll have forever access to the 70+ videos. Q: Will this be helpful even though I just teach on a Reformer? A: Yes! However this isn't geared towards teaching just on a Reformer. This eBook will help you consider ways to incorporate mat, Tower, and the Wunda Chair into your lessons plans. So if you want something that is Reformer only, this is not it. Q: What if I've never created a lesson plan or taught a class yet? A: That's totally fine! We all have to start somewhere and this guide will help you establish how to go about structuring your classes or even your own personal lessons. Q: Do you offer refunds? A: Due to the nature of digital products, I DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS. Thank you for understanding how much time, thought, love, and money went into making this a one-of-a-kind resource.

Get your students thinking about their thinking with this growth mindset 3D activity. This resource focuses on the differences between fixed and growth mindset. There are 6 panels, each with a different question to answer. There is also a blank template panel if you want to add your own question. Students will answer the questions on each panel, cut out and decorate the panels (we colored only the growth mindset side of each panel for effect), and then assemble the resource into a 3D activity, perfect for display. This resource contains options for two different sizes – one on full sheets (great for display in a larger area or to write longer, more in depth answers), and one on half sheets (great for smaller display areas with a smaller area for writing). Print only the size you need. You need 6 individual panels to create the craftivity. I have included the 6 panels plus a blank template for both sizes – the blank template can be used to add your own question, or use as a cover page in case you want to assemble the craftivity into a flip-book format rather than a 3D resource. A rubric is also included for formative or summative assessment. You have three different options for printing (you want your craftivity to be sturdy enough to stand on its own): - Print on white construction paper - Print on cardstock - Print on regular paper, then glue onto construction paper and cut out around shape For easier completion, be sure students complete each page BEFORE they assemble the craftivity. This resource is included in my Growth Mindset Activity Bundle which contains 3 great activities to reinforce the concept of growth mindset in your students. • Click HERE to see all my craftivities. *** This resource is also included in my HUGE 4th - 6th Grade Essentials Bundle containing 20 of my best classroom resources. *********************************************************************************************************** Follow me on Instagram or Facebook to see more of my classroom ideas!

With divergent thinking, the possibilities are endless! For some students, thinking creatively and out-of-the-box comes naturally. For others, modeling is needed in the beginning. With practice, all your students can train their brains to think creatively and see things in a different way. If you follow my blog, you have read about my V-8 moments in teaching. Do you remember the old commercials where the actor is drinking something and then sees V-8 and bangs his/her head and says, "I should have had a V-8" because it is a better (more nutritious) drink. In teaching, I have been doing teaching something one way, and then read about or think of a better way and then feel like I want to bang my head, too. Divergent thinking is one of my V-8 moments. A few years ago, I had a student that struggled with letter identification when I was teaching kindergarten. None of the traditional methods were effective with him. One rainy day, I made a die cut letter for each of my students of the letter we were studying that week. I told them to arrange the letter on their paper however they wanted and then make it into something. They could flip it, turn it in any directions, and move it so that it could turn into something new. They would then complete the sentence, “This used to be the letter__ , but now it is ____.” We were studying the letter J at the time. Some students made their letter into the runners of a sled; others made it into a cane that their Grandpa used. The boy who had trouble learning his letters created an elaborate picture showing the letter J holding up his trampoline. A light was switched on in his mind. He could make pictures in his mind of the letters and remember the name of the letters because of the pictures. After this experience, I made pictures with die-cut letters a standard center. Divergent thinking is often thought of as a skill that is incorporated in gifted and talented or art curriculum. I think this skill should be incorporated in our lessons and used with all students. My experience began with a simple rainy day activity and turned into a low prep, effective literacy center. This divergent thinking activity was able to reach my student when traditional methods weren’t. As you can tell from my example, these types of activities do not have to add to your already full schedule. It can be used as a fun inside recess activity, Friday Fun Day activity, or let it be a group or partner activity after your students know the format of the lessons included with this packet. I realize that you may not always have time or access to a die-cut machine. So, I made some winter themed activities that you can incorporate into your day, even if you have a jam-packed day. My new Brain Trainer: Winter Fun packet includes 15 "It used to be a (winter graphic), now it is a ___" activities. The sign in the picture above is included. There is a colorful and black and white version of the sign. Set this up as a morning check in. Hang one of these signs on white board or chart tablet paper. Students will write their answer when they arrive. You can also use it as a way to take attendance. You can also use the signs for partner or small group work. There are word cards and worksheets, too. Use the worksheets for seat work, homework, morning work, or set them up as a center. Does your class have a wide range of abilities this year? There are extension cards included so you can differentiate this activity. Click HERE if you'd like to check out the preview file. Sources to make my blog post graphics can be found HERE.

I created this PDF worksheet to help students to think creatively, elaborate, and tell a story. I've used this when I taught in elementary (as young as kindergarten) and used it also in high school. There is no right or wrong answer and it is fun to see all the creative solutions that students come up with. My high school students taking the animation pathway especially liked this worksheet. We always share the results in class to see all the different solutions. I've included a blank sheet that you can have students create their own sheet and then switch with a partner and create a drawing from it. This adds a sense of challenge and game element to it.
