Besides the benefits of enhancing student focus and engagement, being able to move in class and have options about sitting allows students to connect with each other promoting a sense of community; it also fosters responsibility and makes them accountable for their own learning and behavior choices. Flexible seating is linked to higher academic performance. I am a dynamic, fast-paced educator. When I introduce a concept, I want to make sure my students have plenty of opportunities to learn and check for understanding. Flexible seating will encourage my students to be more academically alert and mindful about their learning. Since my students will not have traditional desks, they will need storage units like the Closet Maid to house their books and school supplies during class. They will relish having vibrant, unconventional seating alternatives such as the Surf Portable Lap desks, and the Norwood Stack Stools. The Dry Erase Clip Whiteboards will be a support for taking notes anywhere in the classroom. Giving students alternatives for their physical learning space nurtures their higher-order thinking skills and empowers them to be decision makers and problem solvers.
