What is Active Seating?

What is Active Seating?
The concept is that flexibility and movement while sitting can be beneficial to the human body and make some seated tasks easier to perform. One of the earliest forms of active sitting is the common rocking chair which allows forward and backward swaying motion.

In the field of ergonomics, the concept of active sitting is gaining recognition, particularly among people whose work involves prolonged sitting. In the school setting active seating is making strides by helping students focus more and feel more comfortable which will ultimately lead to students doing better in school.

Today our feature product is the Zuma Rocker by Virco! Not only does it look cool, it allows students to move and not be restricted to their seat. Check out this great product and more on http://www.proacademyfurniture.com

Benefits of Standing Desks

ideal-ergonomics2

Sitting for prolong periods of time (more than 6 hours per day) puts you at an increased risk of diseases including diabetes and heart disease.

A SIT-STAND DESK WILL:

  • Jump start your metabolism
  • Promote healthier joints and spine
  • Relieve back and shoulder muscle pain
  • Help you feel better and more awake
  • Contribute to better posture

Prolonged sitting often contributes to back and shoulder pain. When the spine is inactive for long periods of time, posture and physical condition worsen. Joints do not receive adequate blood supply when you are inactive. When joints move, they let nutrients in and waste is pumped out. Frequent physical movement is important for the health of your spine and discs.

Being focused at work is admirable. But too often we don’t realize how long we have been sitting in the same position. Problems from prolonged sitting can be easily addressed with a sit-stand desk. Alternating between a standing and sitting position is the best option for a healthy work environment.

STEM-Centric Learning 101

What is STEM-centric learning?

STEM learning

STEM education is active and focuses on a student-centered learning environment. Students engage in questioning, problem solving, collaboration, and hands-on activities while they address real life issues. In STEM education, teachers function as classroom facilitators. They guide students through the problem-solving process and plan projects that lead to mastery of content and STEM proficiency. STEM proficient students are able to answer complex questions, investigate global issues, and develop solutions for challenges and real world problems while applying the rigor of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics content in a seamless fashion. STEM proficient students are logical thinkers, effective communicators and are technologically, scientifically, and mathematically literate.

To make your classroom STEM friendly, contact us today and we can create the perfect design for your facility’s needs.
