My students have a variety of needs in their learning. I am a general education teacher but I service a wide range of learners with numerous different instructional, social, and emotional needs. While instruction is always evolving and changing, our way of teaching needs to change as well. Flexible seating is a research based approach that can allow for student centered learning. I have found that if you allow students to take control of their learning, they have a higher chance at being successful both in and out of the classroom. I believe this project for beanbag chairs and balance balls can help my students have the opportunity to take a hold of their learning and to come into a classroom environment that is both safe and welcoming each day.
