My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. 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 are getting to control their environment and make choices all while achieving academically and socially.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The bungee chairs will allow students to bounce and move all while remaining in one place. The cushions will allow my students to make hard, rigid, typical classroom chairs a bit more comfortable.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
