Why Action Based Learning Hallway Sets?

Quality and Quantity: ABL Hallway sets are the highest quality sets on the market, designed for high traffic environments. All hallway sets are manufactured using commercial grade vinyl on commercial printers. Sticker size is up to 2x larger than the standard sensory path and quantity of stickers in each set ranges between 75 to 120 stickers per set! This is double the size of standard hallway sets.

How are these adhered to the floors? Are they permanent? 

They are adhesive stickers. Once you place them where you like them in the hallway, we recommend waxing over to maintain their structure throughout the year. If you decide you do not want them one day down the road they can be removed when the floors are stripped. If you decide to keep them, the maintenance can do a light strip and re-wax (which is typically how they do all of the floors each year).

ABL CALMING CART 

Action Based Learning Mobile Carts offer schools more flexibility to implement Action Based Learning Strategies without compromising space and budget. Carts provide ABL equipment and support materials content specific for the elementary level to assist educators in integrating academics with purposeful movement.

The purpose of this cart is to provide tools for students in need of self regulation and to reset their emotional state. Students will eventually recognize which tools work best for them and when is a good time to use them.

This cart can be used as a whole class/group. Place the cones around your space where you will put the equipment and or materials. There are 10 cones, so you can have up to 10 stations. Feel free to add more as you need. Find the corresponding Station Cards and place them in the slot at the tip of the cone. Model the expectations and proper use for each station. Model how you will have the students rotate through the stations. Instructors can use the timers from the set the duration for the stations. Adjust the amount of time at each station according to how many stations there are, how much time you have, and if you want each child to get to every station. This could be anywhere between 1 and 3 minutes.

This cart can be stored in a classroom or a central location to share with other classrooms. After modeling the expected use of each activity, students can be directed to use the calming cart when they are demonstrating behavior that is escalating; (overly excited, frustrated, sad, angry, etc). This can be done by themselves or with the supervision of another adult.

Support materials provide over 120 Activities and 35+ tools and equipment stations on board the mobile classroom cart. The provided activities can be easily modified and adapted to provide hundreds of additional activities for students as they progress. ABL accessories and equipment that can be quickly pulled off the cart and used in the hallways, classrooms or common areas for quick purposeful movement activities that prepare the brain to learn throughout the day.

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, and allow children to absorb and 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

Action Based Learning K-2 Lab

Why the Action Based Learning Lab?

Research shows children are not reaching their full potential if they are sitting all day. When children are active, the brain makes connections needed for anchoring information, memory, and recall.

ABL uses purposeful movement strategies to the child's advantage, resulting in healthier, happier students who test higher. 

Movement not only grows new brain cells and prepares the brain for learning, but it works to enhance development, and helps close learning gaps in students who are struggling. Simply put, ABL Labs are designed to prepare the brain for learning.

What is the brain body connection?

Research shows the strong connection between the brain and body and the link to overall cognitive development.

What is the purpose of the lab?

To prepare the brain for learning!

Brain science strongly supports the link between movement and learning. The brain and body's movement and learning systems are interdependent and interactive. For example, the body's vestibular system controls balance and spatial awareness and facilitates the student's ability to place words on a page! 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 practicing processing information. If the child is given the opportunity to practice and rewire those systems, then the brain is able to develop the foundations necessary for learning readiness. Proper development and remediation of these systems are critical to a childs’ success in the classroom. Learn more 

What are the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness?

Each active learning station in the lab, applies what we know about the brain body connection by focusing on the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness.

There are 12 core foundational skills that help students build the framework (and prepare their brains) for learning: cross lateralization, body in space, balance, visual development, tactile learning, motor skills, visual tracking, hand/eye/foot coordination, cardiovascular and physical fitness, rhythm, problem solving, and mindfulness. Practicing these foundations helps us close learning gaps and help students reach their maximum learning potential.

ABL K-2nd Complete Lab Package:

ABL Labs come with formal training and classroom certifications for schools and after school learning centers. ABL Lab packages are customized to fit individual needs, budgets, and spaces. All ABL Labs include stations to target all 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness. 

Keep in mind, since Action Based Learning Labs are customized and based on the needs of the school, your lab can be built slowly over time. It is not required to start with the complete lab package. We often work with schools who begin with little to no budget, providing long term planning and support, as well as assistance in grants and funding. 

Request a free needs assessment for your school, and receive a custom quote same day. For funding and grant opportunities, check out the ABL grants page.

Is the ABL lab sold in a package or by individual stations?

Both! Many schools opt for the entire lab package, which includes staff training, lab manuals, support materials, activity guides, as well as all of the stations necessary to focus on the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness. However, not all schools will have the resources to implement a complete lab package immediately. Action Based Learning Labs can be customized to fit the specific needs of the school. The first (and highly recommended) step is to attend an Action Based Learning training. Trainings provide an in depth understanding of ABL, the brain research behind the 12 Foundations of Learning Readiness, and allow educators to leave with a vision of what ABL looks like in the school setting!

Who runs the lab?

Typically, classes are scheduled 2-5 times a week for 20-30 minute lab sessions. The lab may be facilitated by the individual teacher during the scheduled time. Ideally, the school designates a lab coordinator to facilitate the ABL Lab. Many times, the physical educator or health and wellness coordinator takes the initiative to lead ABL within their own school and/or districtwide.

Artist Hallway Set

Action Based Learning Sensory Hallway Sets help students focus by encouraging them to be active on their way to class using activity maps and colorful pathways throughout the hallways.

ABL Sensory Hallway Sets are considered one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to impact every child through movement. Reach more students and allow Action Based Learning strategies to be practiced daily. Hallway sets are designed to allow educators to customize the ABL Sensory path to fit all spaces and varying grade levels. Each set allows students to practice the critical foundations necessary to prepare the brain to learn.

These are 135+ piece commercial grade decal sets, sized up to 19 inches, that can be placed throughout your school, on the floors and also the walls to create a play/learning environment outside of the classroom!  Each set allows plenty of options for moving through the 12 Foundations and many more elements to be creative and create a fun learning environment. 

Active Hallway Set Sensory Path PDF

Why Action Based Learning Hallway Sets?

Quality and Quantity: ABL Hallway sets are the highest quality sets on the market, designed for high traffic environments. All hallway sets are manufactured using commercial grade vinyl on commercial printers. Sticker size is up to 2x larger than the standard sensory path and quantity of stickers in each set ranges between 75 to 120 stickers per set! This is double the size of standard hallway sets.

How are these adhered to the floors? Are they permanent? 

They are adhesive stickers. Once you place them where you like them in the hallway, we recommend waxing over to maintain their structure throughout the year. If you decide you do not want them one day down the road they can be removed when the floors are stripped. If you decide to keep them, the maintenance can do a light strip and re-wax (which is typically how they do all of the floors each year).

Assessment Hanging Bar

Foundation: Physical Fitness | Strength & Flexibility

Developing the muscular system provides support for the relay of messages throughout the central nervous system. Upper body and hand strength allows the student to write for longer periods. Core muscular strength, including abdominals and back muscles, supports the spine and improves posture. Oxygen can then flow freely, supplying fuel to the brain. Muscular strength in the legs encourages the flow of BDNF, the “Miracle Gro” for the brain. 

 The ability of the child to hold their body weight suspended from the ground forms the basics of upper body strength

Activities and associated progressions are included in ABL Lab Manual

Balance Beam

The balance beam enables kids to be challenged while improving balance and coordination. Kids improve vestibular balance, movement coordination, and concentration while understanding their body's center of gravity. The balance beam also helps to improve self-confidence, learning stability, and sense of reaction. Each unit is equipped with the ability to add another beam on each end thus allowing facility operators to make the beam as long as they need.

Key areas: Balance, Proprioception, Visual Perceptual Skills 

Product Specifications: 

Barrel Jump Set 

This obstacle is used in the ABL Learning Lab to cross the midline. Crossing the midline coordinates both sides of the body and is an important developmental skill needed for many everyday tasks such as writing and reading.

Brainworks Wall Chart

The ABL Brainworks Wall Chart is a visual source of how our magnificent brain works. Our recommendation is that the chart is used as a resource for age-appropriate learning about the parts and functions of our brain. Children are very capable of understanding at a young age that our brain and body are connected and must be educated together. Our brain needs to develop as we grow, as does our body!

Measurements: 75"W x 48"H

Breathing Techniques Wall Graphics Set

Students need tools to learn to self-manage their desired learning state. Learning and proper responses to environmental cues, such as how to be part of a group, prepares students to react more appropriately. Being aware of how our bodies and brains work together can be used to calm down or energize appropriately.

Not only does the respiration rhythm synchronize activity in brain regions involved in emotion and memory, it can also affect people's performance on tasks involving emotion and memory.
