Everyone works better if they are comfortable with where they are working. Flexible seating has been shown to increase the productivity and behavior in my class. Up until now, this has meant bean bags or yoga mats with clipboards. The problem is the students that cannot get down and up from the floor find that they are stuck at the traditional table and chair seating. The sofa with work tables will allow my students a more durable and accessible seating while still allowing them to be more comfortable than traditional hard chairs and cramped tables.
The students will have one more choice in seating and this will help them to concentrate on what they are supposed to - history - rather than on how uncomfortable the seating is. Since providing alternative seating, my students have been more productive and take more ownership of their own behavior. This furniture will help all of my students be able to make the choices that will make their educational career more productive.
