My goal is to create a creative and flexible learning environment for my 50 different learning-style students. Our bodies were not meant to sit behind a desk and listen to a teacher lecture all day. My classroom is set up as a constantly moving and collaborating environment, therefore my seating should reflect that. My plan is to have a different seating arrangement for each of my five tables. Table one will be stability balls, table two will be stools, table three will be floor pillows with the table dropped low, table four will be chairs, and table five will be raised for standing. This set up will allow a wide variety of comfort for all of my students. Flexible seating is a new form of classroom management for behavior and learning. Studies has shown that if effectively used in the classroom, then students engage better and for longer periods of time. A school in Albemarle County that implemented flexible seating saw an increase in students' grades, their students seemed happier and more engaged, and their students were participating with more invigorating conversations. My vision is to offer comfort to help create a peaceful and cooperative classroom.
