Giving my students flexible seating options allows them to take charge of their learning and and make the best choices for what works for them. It is ironic that kindergarten classes have large spaces and options for small students, but our biggest students seem to get the least options and smallest spaces. We would never accept plastic chairs and lap height desks in the workplace as the most effective way to work and collaborate. We would never sit at one in our homes to get comfortable and read a good book. Yet we expect out students to do just that. Dreamworks Animations and Google recognize that creativity, collaboration, and worker productivity increase when flexible seating is an option. I'd like to give my students the same advantage.
