Flexible classrooms give students a choice in what kind of learning space works best for them, and help them to work collaboratively, communicate, and engage in critical thinking.
Research shows that flexible seating has led to:
~improvement in student work
~happier and more engaged students
~greater student participation and more invigorating student conversations
Students are given the power of choice. Do you work better standing? Are you more engaged sitting on the floor? Does sitting on a yoga ball keep you more focused? This ability to choose empowers students to take control of their learning, and ultimately produce their best work. My students need flexible seating items such as balance ball chairs, bean bag chairs, a comfy learning carpet, 5 small floor desks, and stools.
The funding of this project will allow me to begin to transform my classroom into a learning space that meets the needs of all learners. Students will be able to work in ways that they are most comfortable. The classroom environment will be warm, welcoming, and buzzing with engaged students working collaboratively.
