Active Bodies -- Active Brains
Using creative design and movement to enhance learning
Classroom design doesn't mean you have to buy all new furniture and mortgage your home to pay for alternative seating. Instead, let's share practical strategies to use the resources currently available to design an active and engaging environment for our students!

Moderators
Stacy and Mary have worked together for over 5 years. Their unique partnership led to classroom redesign projects, exercise before school initiatives, whole group conversations about movement and fidgeting, parent and colleague education, and a classroom culture that promoted students to advocate for their own learning needs (even if their needs weren't traditional).
