In my class, I try to set my students up for success. A lot of them struggle with keeping their body in check, but having been a chronic fidgeter myself, I understand that they sometimes just need to have the opportunity to get some of their wiggles out as they learn. Moving around is a natural outlet for some of their busy brains. I have one student who stands up during class, and at first I thought it was a disruption. But after getting to know him and seeing how he continues to work hard I have learned that his movement is not intended to disrupt class, but rather to keep himself focused in class. These seats will give him, and other students the chance to move around a little more in a controlled way as they continue to learn. By having the combination of stools, medicine balls, seat cushions, and feet bands I will be able to give a lot of my students the chance to stay physically and mentally engaged in class.
