I would love to improve my classroom by providing flexible seating in the form of ball chairs. Flexible seating would allow the students to choose how they sit, where they sit, and what they sit in or on during lessons and activities. This would improve attention.
There are many different types of flexible seating to help promote learning within the classroom environment. The type of flexible seating that would best fit my classroom is the balance chair. It has been stated that using this type of flexible seating encourages kids to learn and practice healthy posture. It also helps increase focus by keeping the body active and the mind engaged simultaneously; the constant ball movements increase blood flow to the brain, leading to better focus and concentration.
