The research is indisputable, and when creating an environment that cultivates students' maximum growth, it my duty as an educator to be responsive. We must shift from a "one size fits all" approach, and focus our attention on the diverse needs of our diverse children. Research has shown that the benefits of flexible seating include, but are not limited to: improved focus; an increase in motivation; and improved core strength and overall posture. In my classroom, children are allowed and encouraged to be flexible. If a child wishes to seek solace in a reading nook, they are allowed to do so, whether it be to complete an assignment, read a book, or center themselves. If a child feels they'd focus best from the vantage point of their desk while the rest of the group sits on the carpet, they are granted that autonomy. In my classroom, a child is given the option of standing behind their pushed in chair or staying seated. The reason for these few examples of flexibility is the same reason outlined in most of the current research: diverse children have diverse needs. One way I can maximize flexibility in my classroom is through flexible (alternative) seating. I've explored the most cost effective ways of achieving my goal, and have found an option that will give 19 children flexible seating options.
