The Corridor Actif allows students to move about the hallways in a supervised, safe, and positive manner. These are no longer seen as race tracks where interventions are frequent, but are becoming fun motor skills courses accessible to all students. By focusing on the movements they need to perform, children pay less attention to their immediate surroundings and to their classmates, which encourages calm and orderly movement.
This helps satisfy the natural need to move, which is particularly strong in some children, in a constructive way. After burning off their excess energy, students return to class calmer, more engaged, and more receptive to learning.
Concentration sets in once the need to move has been satisfied.
