Studies show that flexible seating allows for burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, increasing motivation and engagement, and creating a better oxygen flow to the brain. Many of my students would find relief in getting to take a cognitive break from sitting in a chair and stretch out and work independently during class. Having a rug for them to sit comfortably while writing on their chrome books would make all the difference for them.
Many may think that this is a strange request for a high school classroom, but if you have spent any time with a group of teenagers, you would know that they definitely need a break to stretch and move throughout the day to stay focused. This will help my students become more self-aware about what types of seating and environment help them learn best. And they will be empowered by the opportunity to have choices.
