Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Currently my students are choosing to learn and work using a variety of seating options such as: standing table with stools, low table with beach chairs, stability balls, Gaiam balance ball chair, camping chairs, stools, and lap boards. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where and with whom they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed when given choice. Activating my students' voice through choice is essential for students' comfort. Comfort is an essential component in motivating them. The product that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating option to make more effective learning choices. The Flexispot bike will allow students to safely and actively move while working. This will be extremely beneficial for many of my students who learn better when moving. I have seen the positive impact flexible seating has on my students, and I look forward to adding another option.
