Research shows that flexible seating benefits students in many ways. Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. Giving students choices about their physical classroom space teaches them higher-order thinking skills. Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class – without moving mountains of heavy desks to establish eye contact. These are just some of the benefits.
