AlphaBetter Stand-Up Desk (with Book Box)

For many students, everyday classroom life involves trying to sit still which disrupts learning. With the AlphaBetter Stand-Up Desk (with Book Box), students are able to stand up during the school day and move without being a distraction to their classmates or teachers, while potentially improving their concentration.

In conventional classrooms, all teachers can do to aid their students is to ask them to “sit up straight and pay attention.” With the AlphaBetter Stand-Up Desk (with Book Box), students have the option to sit, stand or alternate between the two, as well as the opportunity to use the swinging footrest/fidget bar to redirect fidgeting behaviour, and expend energy. In AlphaBetter classrooms, students receive the postural support they need to focus on instruction so teachers can teach with fewer interruptions.
