Learning Condition

Movement & Variety

Some children can settle into a chair and stay there. Others need to move, switch, and shift to stay engaged. Movement & Variety describes how much physical and format change your child requires in a lesson.

Starting out

How this learner tends to begin

Fidgets, stands, or paces when concentrating.

Fades quickly in long single-format sessions.

Re-engages after a physical or format shift.

Momentum

What keeps this learner engaged

Full-body engagement often means deeper retention.

Adaptable to hands-on, tactile, or manipulative-based work.

Can bring energy back to a stalled lesson quickly.

Friction

What may create friction

Can look 'off-task' when actually processing.

Struggles with all-worksheet or all-reading days.

May need explicit permission to move.

Support

Helpful supports

  • Break lessons into short blocks with a physical reset between them.

  • Rotate formats: read, do, discuss, build.
