In classrooms, schools provide a typical desk and chair for each student. While this set up works for most students, it does not create an environment of focus for all. Most of my students contain high levels of energy that turn an ordinary desk and chair into an uncomfortable place to learn. They need something different in order to focus on the instruction in my classroom.
Flexible seating is a game changer for my many students who need to constantly be moving in order to focus. Wobble stools and yoga balls to sit on give my students the chance to fidget and move while they learn. Studies have shown that when students are comfortable, given choice in learning environment, and are able to burn off energy, that they are more likely to succeed academically and increase the number of minutes that they can focus on a task.
