As a teacher, I have studied extensively how to differentiate academics so that all students are able to be successful. However, the one thing I still am not able to do is help my students be comfortable, focused, and independent.
For 6 hours a day, these 21st century students are asked to sit in hard chairs and permanently stationed desks, asked to not move or talk, and yet listen with 100% focus. Its not working! With these stability balls and chairs as flexible seating options, students can move and freely choose what and where they would like to sit in during the day.
