Think about all the different places and spaces you work in throughout the day. Of course, we're at our desks close to a computer, but even then, sometimes, we're walking on our treadmill, sitting, squatting, and even standing on a wobble board. It's how we stay alert, engaged, and comfortable. Students need the same options across the school day. Check out our handout (which you can share) about the importance of choice in learning ways and materials.
