In order to promote student motivation and higher engagement, we as teachers must adapt to students in our classroom. Classrooms should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This simply cannot be done when kids are sitting in rows of desks for majority of their day. Being uncomfortable is unhealthy, and does not improve attention and work ethic. In order to bring out the best in our students, we have to make sure that they are comfortable and focused so that we as educators can maximize their learning in the time that we are allotted. This is why having flex seating, such as rocking chairs and foam seating, is so important for keeping students focused within the classroom. It works for us as adults, so why wouldn't it work for students?
