I model flexible seating use in my classroom because I understand what kind of learner and listener that I am. My seating preferences come from being an energetic child that struggled to sit and listen to videos or teachers explaining materials. This unbalanced energy made it extremely difficult to stabilize myself enough to sit in a standard classroom chair and focus on what I was listening to! Many years later, and I find that my students struggle with the same bountiful energy navigating through learning content.
My students have a need to bounce, wobble, lean, and fidget while they listen and participate in classroom conversations. This flexibility allows students to take their brains off their need to fidget or move and allows their brains to refocus on what students are listening to. Much of my course works to introduce strategies to teens that support them to understand their own learning styles and harness the skills that allow them to be successful in any classroom or environment. Flexible seating is just one step towards encouraging students to find strategies that support them in being successful anywhere.
- I have included a binder set to support Freshmen students in developing the skill of organization.
- The Jenga set is for an icebreaker activity in my classroom to encourage students to share more about themselves while having fun working together on a common goal.
