I am requesting alternative seating in my classroom to increase learning opportunities for all students. Students, more now than ever, need strategies and tools to keep them engaged in their learning. Many students choose to stand but don't have a surface at the correct height to complete their work.
Standing desks are research driven options for students who have difficulties remaining focused while sitting in a standard desk all day. By increasing student's activity level, there are many benefits that follow. This "comfortable fidget" allows the brain to quiet down and focus on the task at hand. With an increased number of students with ADHD and other disorders that interfere with focus, this is a healthy alternative to medication.
