Stand up for Learning
While this is not the only great kinesthetically-attention-enhancing (is that a word?) furniture for schools, I appreciate that the Safco company has provided some links for funding and grant opportunities on their web page. Below is a description and video about the stand up desks. SMART thinking Safco!
“The stand up desk allows students to feel less confined and helps them stay focused in the classroom. It offers improved body ergonomics, expends excess energy, allows for better oxygen flow to the brain, improves handwriting, and is being studied for increase in caloric expenditure which could help fight rising childhood obesity statistics.”
