The startling connection between movement – and learning

What can nurses learn from dancers? That's not a trick question but it may sound like one.  Hard to believe the two have anything in common. But ask Coralee McLaren.  She was a professional dancer.  Then she became a pediatric nurse.  Now she's a scientist and points to the unlikely intersection of nursing and dancing.  As well as the exciting possibilities involving children and the relationship between movement and learning. Info on Guest:Coralee McLaren is an Assistant Professor in the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing at Ryerson University in Toronto.  https://www.ryerson.ca/nursing/about/people/faculty/coralee-mclaren/  And watch this video to learn more about Coralee’s exciting research: https://www.ryerson.ca/fcs-news-events/news/2021/08/dancing-and-nursing-come-together-to-understand-spaces-how-we-move-in-them-and-how-we-learn/ We appreciate your support!  Please rate our podcast.  And subscribe and follow us on social!  @CRAMideas.   Our thanks to the Temerty Foundation for their generous support. We’d really appreciate your support!  Please rate our podcast and subscribe and follow us on social @CRAMideas.  Support the CRAM Podcast!Research shapes our lives, yet so much of it doesn’t reach the public.
