The pursuit to maximize a learning environment’s effectiveness is always going to be paramount. In our modern society, active seating solutions has ascended to become a game-changer in addressing the topics of enhancing student engagement, reducing classroom distractions, and promoting collaborative work. According to
Edutopia (2015):
“Since implementing flexible classrooms, Albermarle County Public Schools have noticed that:
- Their students’ grades have improved
- Their students seem happier and more engaged
- Their students are participating more and having more invigorating conversations”
However, politics and budgets often dictate whether a school will make the leap towards innovation or keep the traditional classroom status quo. Investing in active seating furniture helps determine if it can benefit your students and teachers. Active seating creates a fun, engaging, and productive atmosphere that helps students develop critical life skills such as focus and team work. The
