Our classroom environments should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. Comfortable classrooms—physically and psychologically— promote a sense of well-being, keep minds focused, and limit distractions. This simply cannot be done when kids are sitting in rows of desks all day. Flexible Seating options will better meet the needs of students and create a more inclusive environment.
Flexible seating will give control of my room to my students. They will choose where they want to sit daily based on what their needs are. But wherever they choose to sit, it has to help them be their best learning self. Students move the furniture based on their needs; even laying on the floor is acceptable, and sitting by friends is allowed. The 21st Century learners need to work and learn in a classroom that fosters collaboration, creativity, and community. A classroom with flexible seating is the way to go! By supporting this project, students will have the freedom to choose from various seating options that would offer flexibility, movement, and various levels of personal comfort. When these needs are met, students can then focus better on their learning.
