Ours can be an anxious world, and taking tests has never been fun. Knowing calming techniques can make that all better! Support students through high-stakes seasons with movement-based tools to release tension and reset the nervous system. Activities in this creative movement session promote regulation, focus, and emotional awareness during testing time.
TEACHING ARTIST SESSION
Moving Through Testing Anxiety (PK-8)
Kelsey Billiot
Kelsey Billiot has been teaching with the PACE program since 2015. As a teaching artist, she crafts creative movement lessons that include arts integration, social emotional learning skills, and curriculum connections.
Through this work, Kelsey has executed grants and programs that expand upon movement into self care and wellness. Her art is expressed through Space Lafayette, an artisan dance company. She created Breathe & Move in the Fall of 2019 as a response to the growing ask for movement and wellness in classrooms. She finds inspiration in nature and real life experience to enrich her work. Kelsey builds on the evolution of her work and now presents to educators and counselors on these topics.
