In The Classroom

Movement with purpose throughout the school day helps students of all ages stay on task and better focus, making for a happier and calmer learner — and classroom. Active seating packages, including stationary bikes, and toolkits are two of our signature programs.

Active Seating

Active seating—like under-desk pedals, accordion stools, balance disks, stability balls and stationary bikes—is a super popular entryway program. Teachers get it. Students get it. It’s tangible. The seating is our first step in building deeper relationships with our teachers and students.

It addresses some of the most pressing needs students are facing today: Social and emotional learning. So many students are struggling with mental health, absenteeism and learning loss due to the pandemic. Movement is a critical tool that gives students the power to overcome feelings that get in their way of learning.

In fact, 80% of teachers report that active seating helps their students’ social and emotional learning. And 75% of teachers report their students are more on task. That’s a huge deal. Students need every advantage—and active seating is at the top of the list.

Stationary Bikes

Everyone loves these stationary bikes so they can read and ride at the same time. We set them up in school libraries and hallways so they can be used by all students in turn. Our goal is to get them in all Alexandria City Public Schools.

Toolkits

Recognizing the need for teachers to have simple ways to get kids active right at their fingertips, the Move2Learn Toolkit contains fun, heart-rate elevating activities to do in the classroom.

Kits contain items like movement cubes, fitness decks and fitness clock posters with suggested activities like jumping jacks, running in place and crunches.

Teacher Trainings

At Move2Learn, we often say we give teachers tools they need to get their students moving in the classroom. During M2L Teacher Trainings, we show teachers how to use the tools to optimize learning and fun with tips and tricks for successful implementation. We even work in a quick science lesson so students can begin to understand the mind-body connection and the benefits of movement on the brain.

Move2Learn

Move2Learn is an award-winning 501(c)(3) that works to level the learning field for traditionally underserved and overlooked students.
