My Students

Do you remember walking into a classroom with rows of desks? Every room exactly the same. Think about how you felt growing up in that learning environment for a minute. Did you feel excited? Were you given a voice and choice in your educational journey?

Learners have the opportunity to express themselves and choose the type of seating they know will help them learn best through the option of flexible seating!

With your help, my kids will have a personalized learning environment with different seating options.

My kiddos are excited to learn and with the choice of flexible seating options they will feel more focused and comfortable in the learning environment. They will feel empowered to choose what works best for them and also learn about themselves at the same time.

My Project

A learning environment shouldn't be a one size fits all. These seating options will be used to personalize our learning environment.

Learners will have different seating options to benefit their engagement.

Whether it be a wobble cushion to a rolling chair, there are vast benefits to allow learners the opportunity to voice their choice and seating preference. Some of these benefits include an increased motivation, improved behavior, and even an improvement with posture and core strength!

Education and learning are changing every day. I am always looking for ways to better my learning environment to help meet the needs of each and every learner. With your help, I can make one more step towards meeting those needs.
