Alternative seating allows students to take accountability of their learning in the fact it allows them to find out about themselves and what learning style works best for them. Students can make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my 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. Through this project, my students would have choices of where they sot throughout the day and the ability to change should their mood change or the need arise. The lap desks allow students the ability to have an independent work space around the room. The bean bag chairs work well for students who need personal space or have sensory issues. The stability ball chairs allow students to continue working at a traditional desk or table setting but allow for freedom of movement at the same time which is great for ADD/ADHD or kids with anxiety. I have seen how choice can positively affect all students. I feel passionate about providing a positive environment for my students in which they will feel safe and comfortable and that allows them to be their best self so they can focus on learning!
