Time Saving Tips

Welcome. to the S.M.A.R.T. Community!

Whether you are new to S.M.A.R.T. or have been part of the journey for years, we are so glad you are here! This summer, many new participants joined the S.M.A.R.T. community, bringing fresh ideas, energy, and creativity to the work we share.

​We are excited to continue learning, growing, and discovering new ways to make developmental movements meaningful and fun for every student.​

As you begin exploring S.M.A.R.T., you’ll find that some of our resource spaces are ready to explore, while others are still under construction. Think of it as a growing toolbox—we are continually adding ideas and finding new ways to make resources easy to access when you need them.

Here are a few places to start:

• Newsletter Archives: Our website (https://www.actg.org/smartnews) newsletter archives are filled with ideas, activities, tips, and inspiration from the S.M.A.R.T. community over the years.
• Pinterest: Looking for something specific? We’ve organized sections of past newsletters on Pinterest to make finding resources easier. Look for Time Saving Tips, S.M.A.R.T. Spaces, and One S.M.A.R.T. Teacher.
• Workshop Resources: Our website also includes a space where you can access resources connected to your S.M.A.R.T. workshop. We are working toward creating an even more convenient resource space where activities and ideas can be quickly found when inspiration—or a little help—is needed. Find this page here.

Most importantly, S.M.A.R.T. is a community, not just a collection of activities. The best ideas often come from educators trying something new, adapting an activity for their group, or discovering a creative way to make an idea work in their own space.

So, we invite you to be part of the growing conversation. Have an idea? Share it. Tried an activity? Send us a picture. Wondering how to adapt something? Ask a question. Found a creative way to use S.M.A.R.T.? We want to hear about it! Email us at [email protected]
