ABOUT OUR STRIDER DESK

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. 

Strider Desk Features:

The strider desk has quickly become the most popular desk among the 4th grade to high school age group! All Strider 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
• Adjustable tabletop height
• Tabletop lies flat for reading & writing in the classroom

Movement is user powered, there is no resistance on strider 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 Strider Desk 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 Children using the strider desk can work their legs in a motion similar to an elliptical, 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 strides, their partner stands on a balance board on the opposite side of the strider desk.

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

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 strider 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 strider desk into your classroom & implement rotation schedule for all students to benefit from the movement!

Mindfulness Hallway Sets

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 100+ piece commercial grade decal sets 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).

ABC Pathways Package

About Our ABC Pathways Package

Movement activities on the ABC Pathways Mat are endless and allow the students to learn the letters of the alphabet kinesthetically. Walking the ABC Pathways Mat, the students are able to kinesthetically trace each letter of the alphabet, while strengthening gross motor skills, eye tracking, and cross lateralization - 3 foundations critical to learning.

Our ABC Pathways Package is designed for:

The ABC Pathways Mat Package is designed to prepare our students brains to be ready for learning in the classroom. The patented design works to relax and refocus the brain giving the child a chance to strengthen their self regulation skills. As research shows, a child acting out is a child calling out for help to cope with their current emotional state. Walking the ABC Pathways Mat creates a meditative rhythm that works to calm the brain waves and soothe the child. The movement is designed to help the child reset and refocus. The ABC Pathways Mat is used in Action Based Learning Labs, classrooms, hallways, and libraries to give the student an opportunity to practice self regulation.
