The idea is to create a more comfortable environment that helps students be their best learning selves. The students will be given control of the room. They will choose where they want to sit daily. There will be a variety of high, medium and low seating, including a couch, seating cushions, camp chairs, small rugs and stand-up tables. Students will choose where they sit daily, 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. If a student can’t abide by these rules, I will simply move his or her comfy chair somewhere else, and students also move their own seating when there is an issue. My teacher space will become less; I will spend my time in the room working with students. The room will become “ours” instead of “mine,” and this will give my students a sense of ownership and enabled them to become invested in their own education.
