Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they will be able to choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are working in wobbly, broken chairs at desks that coming apart and don't sit flat on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have researched the positive differences that can help students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The ball chairs will allow students to sit at desk or tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The bar counter and stools will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
