🚶♂️ Step-by-Step Routine
- Desk Alignment: Adjust wobble stool height so student's feet rest flat on the floor with knees at a 90-degree angle.
- Usage Rules Check: Remind student of 'Feet on Floor, Stool Under Desk' active seating expectations.
- Movement Channeling: Allow subtle rocking during seatwork. If full body spinning occurs, pair with a desk fidget tool.
🚨 Troubleshooting & Avoidance (When things go wrong)
- If student tips the stool dangerously: Tap the desk and give a gestural prompt to place both soles flat on the floor.
- What NEVER to do: Never take away active seating as a threat unless safety rules are repeatedly breached.
- Signs of frustration: Sliding off the stool onto the floor. Offer a 3-minute heavy work standing break instead.
