My project idea is to incorporate flexible seating options in my alternative learning classroom to help my high school students (9th - 12th grades) in the ALE (alternative learning environment) focus on their school work, while also allowing them to move freely and fidget in their seats. Studies are showing that standing desks help students pay attention, feel more energetic, and fight obesity. Standing throughout the day increases blood circulation and, thus, alertness. It provides a sense of urgency to focus and gets thing done. Adults in the workplace report increased productivity when standing. Likewise, children, no matter their age, pay more attention when they aren’t sitting for long periods of time. Stand-up desks will let students get up and move without disrupting others. Wobble stools and bouncy chairs will allow fidgety students to move in their seats without being a distraction.
