From Fire to Inspire - We're Learning On The Move!

We were born to learn and move, with movement an integral part of all learning. Liz Giles-Brown uses her From Fire to Inspire framework as the foundation and movement as the medium to connect learners to their neuro-plastic engineering capabilities, and educators making a habit of considering how the brain-body system learns best as they plan, teach and interact.

​What is From Fire to Inspire?

FROM FIRE to INSPIRE is a framework of IMAGES, SOUNDS, COLORS, and RHYME constructed using MULTI-SENSORY mini-lessons and MOVEMENT activities. At the heart of the framework is the following statement.

Controlling all conscious and non-conscious functions in your body is a brain filled with neurons uniquely wired to create the one-of-a-kind masterpiece - YOU. Your knowledge, memories, personality, emotions, experiences, habits, and abilities are a puzzle of neurons in a brain like no other. You were born an engineer. Neuroplasticity (the power to wire and rewire neurons) and neurogenesis (the ability to grow new neurons) are your superpowers!

Every thought, feeling, and action FIRES a network of neurons you previously WIRED. When you learn something new, when the connections become strong enough, they MIRE as a new memory. Then you can ASPIRE and set new goals and INSPIRE others with your guidance. Assembled over time through movement, the From Fire to Inspire framework connects all learning from math facts to jumping rope. ​

Every person is a wonderfully unique physical, emotional, and intellectual being wired for moving and learning. When we embrace the psychology and physiology of mind, body & spirit as we work, plan, teach, and interact, we are more likely to reach our goals. As I continue my teaching and learning journey, I aim to connect teachers and learners of all ages to understand how the brain and body learn best.

​Yours for healthy & active life-long learning,
Liz

"Liz is, without question, the best teacher I ever supervised during my 40+ years in public education. As her principal, I was privileged to be able to observe her effectiveness both in the classroom and with the extra-curricular activities she created and led. Liz is in a class by herself! She made it her mission to understand how children learn, how their brains work, and what is needed in order for them to thrive. Watching her in action in the classroom or during a jump rope practice was a mesmerizing experience! Students were attentive and excited and fully engaged in the learning process – ALL the students, ALL the time.  No exceptions. The labels of autism, LD, ESL, MR, BD, and all the rest had no place in her world. She knew instinctively, and from her extensive research, what children need in order to learn and grow and blossom – no matter their starting point. If I could have one wish for the state of public education in our country, it would be that every classroom, not just physical education classrooms, could have a Liz Giles-Brown leading it!"
