My Project
We’re adding standing desks to classrooms at our school to support student movement, focus, and self-regulation. Now we want to take it one step further with balance boards.
These boards give students a quiet, safe way to rock gently while standing.
The motion helps them stay alert, engaged, and ready to learn, especially for students who struggle with focus or need sensory input throughout the day. It’s a simple tool that makes a big difference.
Why balance boards?
- They promote healthy movement and attention
- They support trauma-informed and brain-based learning
-They’re durable, low-profile, and made for schools
As a teacher and school leader, I’ve seen how much students benefit from having flexible options for how they learn.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
