Does your school need a practical way to meet DESE expectations?
Many administrators feel the pressure of meeting Missouri DESE requirements while juggling limited staff time and resources. A Motor Lab provides a straightforward solution that not only checks the compliance box but also supports student success.
What is a Motor Lab?
A Motor Lab is a structured space with targeted activities that build coordination, balance, and readiness skills essential for learning. Instead of adding one more task to the teacher’s already full plate, a Motor Lab creates a system that naturally integrates movement and learning into the school day.
Students benefit by strengthening the foundational skills needed for reading, writing, and attention in class. Teachers benefit by seeing improved focus and fewer behavioral interruptions. And administrators benefit by having a tool that aligns directly with DESE’s expectations for supporting students.
Why schools choose Motor Labs
- Meets DESE standards: Ensures compliance without extra paperwork headaches.
- Improves readiness: Students enter the classroom better prepared to learn.
- Supports teachers: Structured routines reduce stress and provide clear direction.
- Streamlines resources: Makes the most of staff time and available space.
A solution that works in real schools
Administrators often face the challenge of creating programs that sound good on paper but don’t hold up in practice. Motor Labs flip that script. They work in the classroom, in small schools with limited staff, and even in districts balancing multiple priorities.
When schools invest in a Motor Lab, they gain more than compliance. They create a process that is simple, sustainable, and designed to benefit both staff and students for years to come.
