1st Chairless Classroom for BASD

GreatIdeasGrant, Home

Beaver Area School District has implemented an innovative new idea: the chairless classroom. Thanks to a "Great Ideas" mini-grant from the BCET, the chairless classroom uses exercise balls instead of chairs for the children to rest on while attending class. Assistant superintendent Dr. Carrie Rowe is looking forward to measuring what hopefully will be a positive net effect on the participating students. The student body appears to be excited as well with one student over heard exclaiming to a friend, "What a treat!", when she saw the new setup.
