Teacher Chairs

Classroom furniture isn’t just about the students. Educators are an integral part of the school community and classroom culture, so it is important to make sure that they are properly supported -- emotionally, professionally and physically. Comfortable seating that is functional can make a teacher’s job much easier, and significantly more pleasant.

The ideal teacher is one that moves around the classroom rather than remaining in one place and lecturing. While walking around is important, it can also be difficult for anyone to stand through an entire class period. With a mobile swivel chair, teachers are able to keep track of students in all parts of the room, without having to constantly walk around. They can either glide over to help a student, or push the chair into position and sit down.

In addition to moving around the classroom, teachers must be constantly turning from side to side to maintain eye contact with students in different parts of the room. Rather than turning their bodies, educators who are seated in a swivel chair can simply rotate to face students without changing positions. This is a great arrangement for when one is seated in the front of the classroom or working with a small group around a desk or a table.

Certain features are always convenient to have, just in case they might be needed. Adjustable-height chairs are ideal because they can be adapted to fit almost anyone perfectly. While this is useful in any setting, it is especially helpful for a teacher who is working with young students. Rather than having to bend down and strain his or her back, or sit on a child-size chair, a teacher can simply lower the chair seat and stay on eye-level with students in a position that is comfortable to them.

If you like to have a classroom that is totally coordinated, we have teachers chairs that match perfectly with our student classroom seating. You can choose hard plastic or poly shell models. If you want to coordinate your learning space but are concerned that a student chair model is not supportive enough for teachers, you can still have the best of both worlds with one of our padded models.

At Hertz Furniture, we know that classroom design, layout and furniture affect the experience of both students and teachers. Comfortable seating is essential for everyone involved in the educational environment. When you provide educators with attractive and supportive teacher’s chairs, you enable them to focus better, while demonstrating a high regard for the important work that they do.
