5 Active Seats to Help with Physical Distancing

As schools work to re-open this fall, adjustments are being made to ensure health and safety of our students. While the focus lies heavily on sanitation sprays, hand sanitizer, and other cleaning solutions, here are a few furniture solutions that can enhance classroom learning while still promoting physical distancing.

Why is having active seating options in your classroom so important? In order to keep students and staff safe, some schools have resorted to cutting recess, playtime, and/or physical education to a shorter time slot or even completely. This is where active seating plays an important role in your students’ day by allowing them to wiggle independently at their workstations.
