My Project

The wobble stools that I am requesting will provide students with flexible seating options, which will offer more choice, comfort, and movement while focusing on learning and working. This will make a difference for everyone. Students will be able to choose the type of seat that fits their needs. My goal is to decrease distractive behaviors and time spent sitting still in a chair, as well for students to remain vested in his or her learning. The stools I am requesting will help to have a positive impact on the students and the learning environment.

Not all students learn the same way, so why should they all be sitting in the same kind of chair?

Students spend a lot of time sitting while they are in school. If they are comfortable, the student outcomes will be more positive and productive.

I would like to offer my students a comfortable learning and working environment that meets their needs. Having access to more seating options will help my students focus and work to the best of their ability in order to achieve academic success.
