My Project
I am a 6th and 7th grade teacher in an Special Education self contained classroom, where 100% of the population consists of students with disabilities. My students will strongly benefit from flexible seating where it may help them concentrate more.
Children need to move.
Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.
A major key to working with students with disabilities is the use of differentiation. No two children learn in the same way! My students are special because they don't give up easily, they will keep trying until they get it.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
