Mind-Body Learning in Kids (Lisa Murphy) - Teacher Tom’s Podcast #6

Abundant evidence shows the benefits of early childhood education through mind and body; yet, too many young kids aren’t being taught this way. Lisa Murphy shares a wealth of information supporting a pedagogy that incorporates all of the senses.

Welcome to Teacher Tom’s Podcast, which is all about taking play seriously. In each episode, Teacher Tom inspires early childhood educators, parents, and other listeners with information, techniques, and best practices to provide children an authentic play-filled childhood.

Lisa Murphy is the founder and CEO of Ooey Gooey, Inc., a frequent lecturer, and the author of five books. She has been involved in early childhood education for more than 35 years.

“A lot of younger adults didn’t get open-ended, process-oriented art in early childhood experiences. Many of them are reporting to me that they’re not getting creative art, music, finger play, songs, classes in college.” — Lisa Murphy
