I believe that movement in the classroom is a key element of a successful school day. I will also incorporate games, brain breaks, and cross-brain activities. I feel the movements will be a nice addition to these things. They engage your core, which in turn increases blood flow to the brain, thus having increased attention and focus skills. They are in my opinion, all-around beneficial. I am hoping incorporating different types of seating to each class will greatly show growth, exceeding expectations on tests scores and overall help kids who struggle with ADHD or ADD. I know every course, every class is different, but in my opinion, the use of the stability balls or interactive seating will played a role in my students' academic successes.
Again I believe that different types of seating help the following:
-- Improves learning through movement.
-- Promotes "active sitting" without much disruption.
-- Improves posture.
-- Increases blood flow to the brain and the entire body.
-- Strengthens core and back muscles.
-- Improves balance and coordination.
* Implementation of Strategy: (Instructional procedures)
Overall this will enhance the environment not only in the classroom but make kids excited to come to school everyday.
