My Project

My students are fully engaged and eager to learn when they have a choice in where they sit. Flexible seating allows my students to be in charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. My students choose to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting on couches with clip boards, sitting at desks with yoga ball seats, or standing at a stand up work station. Making sure my students are comfortable is essential. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given choices in their own educational process.

My students are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at a regular desk.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make for a more effective learning environment. These are very beneficial for students with ADHD, autism, or they just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed!
