When your body is active, your mind is more alert!

 

The research institute LIKES broke down the process of creating an active class into some tiers. Doesn't it look manageable? See, not too scary or different from what you are already doing. 

​

While observing Finnish classes I saw teachers everywhere on the continuum. Oftentimes students would be working on workbook pages, but with the option of adaptive chairs, standing, or taking breaks in between pages. Sometimes the entire lesson would be centered around moving throughout hallways and problem solving as students found new clues. Continue to think about, "How can I make this more active?" and do what works best for your students.
