My Students

My students are a wonderful group of children with learning styles as diverse as their personalities. As a teacher, I am always looking for new and innovative ways to engage and enhance the learning experience for my students. This is why I am seeking to create more choice in HOW my students learn through flexible seating.

Flexible seating is an alternative to 'traditional seating' in the classroom.

It promotes a collaborative learning environment where students are empowered by choice in what kind of learning space works best for them. Students become excited and take more ownership in their learning when they feel they have the power to make choices in how they will learn and work in the classroom.

With the ability to make a choice to work in an environment that works for them, they are better able to communicate collaboratively while also fostering creative and critical thinking skills. Flexible seating also makes learning more fun, and thats always a plus!

My Project

All of the flexible seating I have chosen for our class will enhance learning. The Gaiam Yoga Balls will offer my students a sense of movement and stimulation while doing their work to help them focus and process information. The Safco stand up desk will allow students choice to stand or sit while working and can also help correct posture. The lap desks will give students the ability to work anywhere in the classroom. The Kore wobble chairs are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desks/higher tables while still allowing some movement. This will be extremely beneficial for those who need different ways to focus, and get the wiggles out!
