After studying the benefits of flexible seating, I have decided to provide my students with flexible seating in my classroom. Having flexible classroom seating will have many benefits for my students. The seating arrangement will allow the students to easily and more naturally collaborate with their peers. The students will also have more control over their learning by not being confined by a traditional desk. By being more comfortable and not being tied down to one area, the students will be able to perform to the best of their ability all day. With this opportunity, my students will be able to collaborate, work comfortably, and do their best everyday. By giving the students a seating option, they will be given the opportunity to make good choices about how to learn, where to learn, and whom to learn with on a daily basis. This situation will minimize the distracting clutter of the inside of a traditional desk. There are many benefits that come with having a student centered, flexible classroom. The students will feel empowered because they are given control over their environment. It is obvious through research that physical activity enhances the learning process. Because flexible seating allows students to stand, bounce, rock, or fidget, they will be more comfortable and active and in turn perform to the best of their ability in the classroom. A second grade teacher, Kayla Delzer, explains, “The students we share our classrooms with don’t know life without constant connectivity, Wi-Fi, and a global audience. Our classroom environments should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This simply cannot be done when kids are sitting in rows of desks all day.” Please help me provide the best possible education to my students by donating to our project!
