To get the most of their time in the classroom I strive to create a classroom environment that fits the learning styles of all the students. An overwhelming amount of research shows that students have different ways of learning. Some need mobility to increase focus, engagement, and retention of new material. As a teacher of students who strive from this type of learning I am constantly looking for ways for my students to be active while learning. Think to yourself...How do you like to learn. Do you like to sit in a chair for 6 hours a day and have information thrown at you without any chance for movement?
For many students, every day classroom life involves trying to sit still in a chair which takes their focus away from the lesson. With the option to use a stand-up desk my students will be able to stand up during the school day and move around without being a distraction to their classmates or teachers. This will dramatically improve their concentration by giving them the opportunity to move, be more focused and become comfortable during reading, math, and writing time.
