At Action Based Learning (ABL), we design classroom furniture with one goal: to unlock students’ full potential. Our products are rooted in neuroscience best practices, proven to improve academic performance, enhance curriculum effectiveness, and channel students' energy into focused, productive learning.
The ABL Deluxe Conference Table is part of our innovative active learning and sensory furniture collection. It provides a quiet, non-distracting way for students and staff to helping to awaken their brains and maintain engagement throughout the day. Designed with the needs of the whole child in mind, this desk supports schools in creating an inclusive, dynamic learning environment. Plus, it aligns seamlessly with the CDC's Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) framework.
Key Benefits of the ABL Deluxe Conference Table
Boosts student engagement, mood, and focus
Enhances academic performance and learning outcomes
Makes curricula more effective
Redirects energy into productive learning behaviors
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.
Uses:
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION - Children with the spin board under their desk can work their legs in a motion similar to a core machine 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 spins, their partner stands on a balance board on the opposite side of the Kneel N Spin desk.
ADD ACADEMICS - Teachers use the twisting movement to engage students in countless activities! For example: students answer questions during instruction by either holding the spin board still, spinning left, spinning right, or side to side.
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 authors Shoecraft, Lengel, & Moize in ABL Books & Manuals).
GO FULLY KINESTHETIC! - Outfit an entire classroom with multiple Kneel N Spin 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 Kneel N Spin desk in your classroom & implement rotation schedule for all students to benefit from the movement!

AFPD35-DB-SEN

$1,085.00
Pedal Desk Voted #1 Classroom Product
The Student Pedal Desk (Grades 3–5) is built for today’s classrooms, offering an ergonomic, adjustable workstation that supports learning through movement. It brings flexible seating to a new level by applying the science behind how the brain responds to light, steady activity during academic work.
Low Intensity Steady State movement, often called a flow state, is the most effective movement pattern for learning. This is not a workout machine. The Pedal Desk is designed to gently increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain while supporting neurogenesis, the natural process of creating new brain cells that occurs when we move.
The adjustable tabletop and seat height support personalized learning, and the silent, non-distracting pedal base allows students to move, fidget, and stay alert without disrupting others. Schools can easily use this tool to meet the needs of all learners and support the whole child.
To learn more about the science behind movement and learning, explore Action Based Learning training through in-person professional development, online courses, or teacher certifications. Action Based Learning methodology can be used with or without furniture, making it highly adaptable for any classroom.
Benefits
Increases student engagement
Supports improved academic outcomes
Improves mood and classroom behavior
Encourages excitement and participation in learning
Brain Based Movement
The Pedal Desk is intentionally designed to place the brain and body in an optimal learning state.
Promotes Low Intensity Steady State movement
Encourages crossing the midline
Supports healthy blood flow and oxygen to the brain
Activates BDNF, often called “Miracle Gro” for the brain, which supports neurogenesis
Features

Movement is entirely user-powered. There is no resistance on elementary models, since added exertion can reduce the cognitive benefits of light movement. The Pedal Desk is intentionally designed for gentle, steady activity.
Classroom Uses
Classroom Instruction Students can pedal lightly while participating in discussions or completing assignments. Movement is optional, so students may also remain still when needed.
Partner Work One student pedals while a partner uses a balance board on the opposite side of the desk.
Integrating Academics Teachers can use pedal motions as response options (forward, backward, pause, speed up, slow down) during instruction and review activities.
Morning Warm-Ups Begin the day with a short movement routine or a Walk and Talk activity to activate the brain.
Full Kinesthetic Classroom Combine multiple Pedal Desks with other movement stations for a fully kinesthetic environment. Research supports rotating movement opportunities for best results.
Start Small Many classrooms begin with a single Pedal Desk and use a rotation schedule so every student can benefit.
