Active seating in the classroom is essential for active minds. Prolonged sitting can cause back and hip soreness, decreased muscle tone, and lack of focusing ability. Active seating options such as wobble stools encourage the body to remain in motion versus a rigid position, promoting proper spinal position, muscle stimulation, and improved focus and concentration due to increased circulation.
As a first-year teacher, my classroom currently only has standard desk chairs. I plan to rotate these 10 stools through my students each day to give them the benefits of active seating.
