Stability Balls in the classroom:
how does it work?
|
Replacing student chairs with stability balls is something that I have always been interested in ever since first reading about it. I am an avid believer in correlating movement into education. I applied for a PTO Mini Grant and, thankfully and gratefully, received the funds to make this change. As with all change, this will be a learning process for both the students and myself. Please see the YouTube clip to the left along with the article "Learn More". Both of these resources provide information on the studies behind the use of stability balls within classrooms.

Stability Ball Guidelines
The students will be expected to follow certain guidelines that will go along with using the stability balls. As with many things, these are a privilege that can be taken away if being abused.
