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. 

Pedal Desk Features:

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. 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.

• 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 and tabletop height
• Tabletop lies flat for reading & writing in the classroom

Movement is user powered, there is no resistance on elementary pedal 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 Pedal Desk 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 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 multiperson pedal desks, and various movement stations (video below). 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 into your classroom & implement rotation schedule for all students to benefit from the movement!
