Movement that Counts by Jean Moize

Spark

Did you know you can beat stress, lift your mood, fight memory loss, sharpen your intellect, and function better than ever simply by elevating your heart rate and breaking a sweat? The evidence is incontrovertible: aerobic exercise physically remodels our brains for peak performance. 

In SPARK, John Ratey, MD embarks upon a fascinating journey through the mind-body connection, illustrating that exercise is truly our best defense against everything from depression to ADD to addiction to menopause to Alzheimer's. Filled with amazing case studies (such as the revolutionary fitness program in Naperville, Illinois that has put the local school district of 19,000 kids first in the world of science test scores), SPARK is the first book to explore comprehensively the connection between exercise and the brain. It will change forever the way you think about your morning run.

The Kinesthetic Classroom 2.0

Kinesthetic education is your answer to brain-friendly fun! Discover 100's of practical, clearly explained movements and activities that rev up your teaching and spark optimal learning. This extensively researched 4-part framework of activities promotes an energized learning environment where mental and emotional growth is met with physical, social, and cognitive engagement.  With little or no equipment and minimal planning time, this updated guide will help you:

• Find tips and information to initiate, manage, and organize a kinesthetic classroom
• Build a cohesive and safe learning environment that adapts to grade, fitness, and ability levels 
• Enhance neural connections with 90-second activities

Why are purposeful movement activities important?

Neuroscience shows the relationship between the brain and body plays a critical role in the child's overall development and ability to learn. Research shows, practicing specific movements, can strengthen these connections and improve reading, writing, memory tasks, & allow children to absorb & retain information more efficiently.

What types of purposeful movement activities are critical to learning?

There are 12 critical areas necessary for a child to develop in order to achieve their full academic potential. These are called the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness:

• 1- Crossing the Midline - Cross Lateralization

• 2- Body in Space - Vestibular/Proprioception

• 3- Balance - Spatial Orientation

• 4- Visual Development - Encoding Symbols

• 5- Rhythm - Beat Awareness and Beat Competency

• 6- Tactile Learning- Sensory Motor and Fine Motor Skills

• 7- Motor Skills - Locomotor and Nonlocomotor Skills

• 8- Eye/Hand Eye/Foot Coordination - Manipulative Skills

• 9- Physical Fitness- Strength and Flexibility

• 10- Cardiovascular Fitness- Aerobic 

• 11- Problem Solving: Embodied Cognition

• 12- Self Management: Mindfulness and Self-Awareness

Kinesthetic Clock Mat

The Kinesthetic Clock Mat is designed to enhance learning by engaging the brain and body kinesthetically! Research shows students make connections in the brain more efficiently when integrating movement into the learning process. Activities allow for a series of progressions that prepares the brain by working on critical foundational skills. Students are actively learning to tell time while engaging in proprioception and low level balance challenges while helping their brain and body synchronize to understand where they are in space. An instructional manual is included.

The Elementary Kinesthetic Clock Mat is made of vinyl material - great for indoor and outdoor use!

Dimension: 60" x 60"

ABL manufactures classroom furniture designed to put the student’s brain into its most optimal learning state.  All of our educational equipment has been created with neuroscience best practices in mind, which results in improved student performance, enhanced effectiveness of curricula, and children’s energy channeled toward learning.

Target age group for our student balance desks is 2nd-12th grade. Our new desk has a charcoal base, and a light blue table top that is pictured below!

ABL active learning and sensory equipment provides a non-distracting, silent way to allow children to move, fidget, wake their brains up and stay engaged and focused in the classroom. This makes it easy for schools to accommodate all learners, and keep the focus on serving the needs of the whole child. Action Based Learning aligns with the CDC framework for addressing health in schools, The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child, or WSCC model.To learn more about the science behind movement and learning educational furniture, check out Action Based Learning Training Academy. 

Benefits:

• Increases student mood and engagement in the classroom
• Improves student performance at school
• Enhances effectiveness of all curricula  
• Channels student’s energy toward learning. 

Brain Based Movement:

Promotes low intensity steady state movement (LISS), crossing the midline, optimizes blood flow and oxygen to the brain, & activates BDNF, coined "Miracle Gro" for the brain by Dr. John Ratey. BDNF activates the brain in the process known as neurogenesis- the growth of new brain cells. 

Student Balance Desks Features:

Manufactured in the USA - Action Based Learning is the Manufacturer of the Original Student Balance Desk. All Student Balance Desks are steel welded and built for high frequency use in school settings. Desks are designed to hold up against even the most "active" students.

Designed specifically for this age group to support proper posture and movement appropriate for elementary age students.

• Ships Pre-Assembled
• Silent, non distracting movement
• Tabletop lies flat for reading & writing in the classroom

Movement is user powered, there is no resistance on the Balance Desks. Based on brain research, adding a certain level of exertion during the learning process can actually work to counteract the benefits of moving. The Student Balance Desks for elementary students is designed to activate Low Intensity Steady State Movement (LISS). To learn more about LISS, view the Science and Research behind Action Based Learning)

Uses:

CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION Children with balance boards on their desk can work their legs and core to balance, while participating in classroom discussion, or doing their classwork. Desk is user powered, making movement optional! Although rare, students not interested in moving, have the option to relax and listen in class! 

PARTNER WORK Partners takes turn on the balance board and petal desk, switching every 10 minutes.

ADD ACADEMICS Teachers use the balance board  to engage students in countless activities! For example: Students answer questions during instruction by either standing on one foot, switching feet, using both to balance. 

MORNING WAKE UP - Start the morning off right with a brain booster! Have students warm-up their brains with a Walk & Talk session ( suggested classroom activities provided by author Shoecraft, Lengel, Moize in ABL Books & Manuals)

GO FULLY KINESTHETIC! Outfit an entire classroom with student balance desks, and various movement stations (video below). Research indicates variety is KEY when implementing alternative seating and kinesthetic desks into an active classroom

FAQ 

Can early elementary age use the stepper? The stepper is not designed for use by early elementary age students and is not available in the super small version. The motion is appropriate for the physical capacity of a child beginning at age 9 for use on the Elementary version. Early Elementary children often do not have the weight to properly perform the stepper movement.

Can't decide on which model to order? *Please note, we highly recommend sticking with the suggested age groups above, when choosing the appropriate equipment size. ABL manufacturing & design team has worked extensively with youth fitness experts (and with children!) to account for varying student sizes in determining equipment sizing and suggested age groups.

SIZING

The NEW Elementary and Junior Rower can easily adjust for both elementary and middle school! The Elementary Rower has a red base. The Junior Rower has a purple base, as pictured below. The Varsity Rower for high school comes in black or green.

CARDIO KIDS SWIM-N-SPIN

The Swim-N-Spin focuses on trunk rotation and upper body strengthening. By engaging the muscles of the core, children are able to rotate the entire body on a pivoting platform while simultaneously pedaling the hand grips forward or backwards using the upper body. 

The body's motor, balance, and vestibular systems must be developed properly in order for the brain to have the mechanisms necessary to process information. If a child skipped crawling, for example, the brain may have missed a step in developing and/or processing information. If the child is given the opportunity to practice and rewire those systems, then the brain develops the needed mechanisms.

• This is an excellent piece of equipment for “de-conditioned” exercisers - Allows children new to physical activity to be successful, and to have fun while moving!
• Unique movement exercises the external oblique and entire range of central core muscles including transversus abdominis back and pelvis, while providing a complete cardiovascular workout.
• Contoured kneeling pads ensure the child will always be properly positioned on the unit. Child size crank arms provide proper fit for children to push and pull utilizing the entire upper body.
