As a teacher, I am constantly searching for strategies to improve student engagement and motivation for learning. As I am constantly perusing Pinterest to scavenge ideas from other teachers, I continued to see classrooms transformed with alternative seating. I saw classrooms with low tables with stability pods, standing desks, stability yoga balls, stools, in addition to traditional seating options all in one classroom. Our schools follow the high pace our world follows, so our students struggle with attention and engagement. Reflecting on the positive transformations I saw, I wanted to try it.
