Student Pedal Desk [6-12th Grade]

Student Pedal Desks for middle and high school classrooms include adjustable resistance to accommodate all physical capabilities. Tabletop and seat height are also adjustable. The pedal desk is the #1 most popular desk for middle and high school classrooms! The pedal motion is similar to a bicycle and students and teachers love it! Students pedal while they participate in regular classroom activities. The silent pedals don't interfere with classroom instruction or activities.

BENEFITS OF THE PEDAL DESK:

• Improves academic achievement
• Improves mood and behavior
• Students are excited to learn and actively engaged in the classroom
• The pedal desk is designed specifically to put the brain and body into its most optimal learning state. Promotes Low Intensity Steady State movement (LISS), 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. YES - using the pedal desk is actually growing new brain cells!

Manufactured in the USA - Action Based Learning is the manufacturer of the Original Pedal Desk. All Pedal 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.

• Ships pre-assembled
• Silent, non distracting movement
• Rear Foot Levelers can be adjusted for all floor types and can accommodate uneven floors
• Adjustable Seat Height
• Adjustable Tabletop Height
• Tabletop lies flat for reading & writing in the classroom
  
• Movement is user powered, with adjustable resistance

Uses:

CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION - Children with pedals under their desk can work their legs in a motion similar to a bicycle 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 - While one child pedals, their partner stands on a balance board on the opposite side of the pedal desk.

ADD ACADEMICS - Teachers use the pedal movement to engage students in countless activities! For example: Students answer questions during instruction by either pedaling forward, backward, pausing, speeding up, or slowing down pedaling!

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 multiple pedal desks and various movement stations. Research indicates variety is KEY when implementing alternative seating and kinesthetic desks into an active classroom.

OR START SMALL! - Start with 1 single pedal desk in your classroom & implement a rotation schedule for all students to benefit from the movement!

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).

About our Wobble Chair Sets

The wobble chairs are Action Based Learning’s most popular flexible seating option! The wobble chair transforms the boring conventional seat into a chair that really rocks! Traditional chairs force kids' bodies to conform to an unnatural posture. This doesn’t have to be the case with the innovative wobble chair! The chair allows one’s knees, hips, and back to find comfortable and ever-changing positions.

World Explorer Mat

Learn geography kinesthetically! The World Explorer Mat encourages the student to learn the continents and countries through movement. By seeing and touching the continents and countries, students gain a “real” understanding of where these places are in a relationship to other continents and countries. Interacting with the mat makes the "big world" seem smaller and more manageable to identify and learn for students.

ABOUT OUR ABL YIN/YANG TABLE

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.          

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. 

Yin/Yang Table Features:

Manufactured in the USA - All Yin/Yang Tables are steel welded and built for high frequency use in school settings. Desks are designed to hold up against even the most "active" students. Includes 10 yr direct from mfg extended warranty and factory direct discounts for schools. 

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

• Portable
  
• Dimensions: 72.8 x 24.9 x 33.7

Based on brain research, adding a certain level of exertion during the learning process can actually work to counteract the benefits of moving. The Yin/Yang Table for 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  Can be used with stools or as a standing activity center for all ages. Recognized as the most durable, heavy duty desk on the market. This activity table is designed to for 20+ years in high frequency use settings!

Why is Mindfulness Important and Relevant in the Classroom?

Youth Balance Rope

The balance rope is 6' long. The 2" round polypropylene rope provides a more challenging walking surface than a traditional flat beam, increasing the balance difficulty for all ages.

Why are gross motor skills important?

Gross motor skills are important to enable children to perform everyday functions, such as walking, running, skipping as well as playground skills (e.g. climbing) and sporting skills (e.g. catching, throwing and hitting a ball with a bat). These are crucial for everyday self-care skills like dressing (where you need to be able to stand on one leg to put your leg into a pant leg without falling over).

Gross motor abilities also have an influence on other everyday functions. For example, a child's ability to maintain table top posture (upper body support) will affect their ability to participate in fine motor skills (e.g. writing, drawing, and cutting) and sitting upright to attend to class instruction, which then impacts on their academic learning. Gross motor skills impact on your endurance to cope with a full day of school (sitting upright at a desk, moving between classrooms, carrying your heavy school bag).
