Methodology

Movement with intention. Learning for life.

An approach that brings motor, cognitive and social-emotional skills into Physical Education experiences.

Part 1

Three dimensions.
Connected foundations.

Movement, thinking and relationships go hand in hand. The three dimensions complement each other to make Physical Education classes more meaningful and complete.

Physical literacy

Motor skills

Motor development is grounded in the theory of physical literacy, widely adopted in Canada. It values motivation, confidence, physical competence and lifelong engagement with movement.

Children running on the grass
Locomotion
Object control
Body control
Neuroscience and child development

Executive functions

Developmentally appropriate challenges build children’s ability to control their responses, hold and use information, and adapt their actions.

Inhibitory control

Social-emotional learning

Social-emotional skills

Grounded in the CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) framework. Five competencies guide the program’s social-emotional modules.

Part 2

How the methodology becomes a lesson.

CKEs, Routines and Dialogue Circles, combined with guidance on the teacher’s practices and attitudes, make up the teaching strategy.

01 / CKEs

Movement that challenges thinking.

Cognitive-Kinesthetic Exercises. Motor activities enriched with planned cognitive demands. Rules, signals and challenges engage inhibitory control, working memory and cognitive flexibility.

02 / Routines

Small rituals. Everyday learning.

Recurring practices that structure the lesson, strengthen bonds and create opportunities to practice autonomy, responsibility and emotional expression.

About InMotion

Physical activity with its full educational potential.

Created by behavioral neuroscience researchers, InMotion brings together psychology, physical education and neuroscience to support teachers and the whole-child development of students from early childhood to middle school, aged 4 to 14.

Our story

An idea born on the court and in the lab.

Through her involvement in educational sports programs and her observation of sports initiatives in the countries where she has lived, especially Canada, psychologist Gabriela Vorraber Lawson saw the need to give physical education teachers in Brazil resources to help them deliver lessons that tap into the full educational potential of physical activity and sport. Over 2 years, she built an original methodology that links cognitive and social-emotional aspects to motor activities.

Her partner in this venture is physical educator Aline Caron, a specialist in exercise physiology and neuroscience. While living in Switzerland, Aline observed and took part in motor development initiatives through psychomotor programs for children, and became passionate about spreading the value of quality physical activity and sport among school-age children.

Gabriela and Aline believe that physical activity and sport can have a much greater impact on children’s lives, and they share the goal of promoting education and whole-child development through movement, with neuroscience as their guide. And so the InMotion Program was born.
