Currently, my classroom is filled with desk-seat torture devices. Most of my students spend their entire day sitting in them. Many of the desks in my room are broken, while others have been repaired many times.
Teachers around the country are reporting that their students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers, when they are comfortable and given a choice of where to work. And that makes sense. Think about your own work environment: You do best when you are sitting or standing, as you prefer, and comfortable. I've decided to spend my summer locating and outfitting my classroom with choices of comfortable seating, a variety, something for everyone. So far, I've managed to locate some flexible tables and chairs, a sofa, and some soft seating.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. These standing desks with stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit or stand at desk or counter height, but will still allow some movement. They are lightweight, on wheels, and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
