High School Kids Need Alternative Seating Too

Help me give my students flexible seating options! Teenagers need fidget bands & alternative seating too. Help increase engagement with a standing desk & fidget bands. Tennis balls are for teacher sanity - they decrease very loud screeching!

My Project

My goal for this project is to increase student engagement for my high school students. When students have flexible seating options they are better able to focus.

The standing desk will provide an easy working alternative to our seated desks.

The fidget bands are attached to classroom chairs and will help anxious and energentic students better focus. The tennis balls will decrease screeching when chairs are slid into and out of the desks.

As a teacher leader I will share these resources. Each of these items will be shared with a variety of teachers across my high school.
