As educators prepare students for the complex global society and economy, the 4 C’s (creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking) become crucial for success. Obtaining these skills requires students to flex between working alone, in groups or all together. Look for products that enhance mobility, support a range of postures, and provide multipurpose solutions.
Observation
Placing young students in the same seat and same location all day makes it hard for kids to stay on task. Both bodies and minds scream for stimulation.
Solution
When young students are in the same space all day, provide a variety of seating options, so students can choose what’s right for them based on the task at hand – whether sprawling on the floor, kneeling, lounging in a beanbag, sitting around a table, leaning into a group activity, or standing.
