Flexible seating classrooms provide students with a collaborative and comfortable learning environment that traditional seating does not. Students who are comfortable are calm, focused, and productive learners. My goal with this project is to create a welcoming atmosphere that promotes engaging and interactive learning. Flexible seating allows students to choose the seating option that best meets their specific needs. Additionally, flexible seating provides opportunities for building a sense of community within the classroom which may otherwise be more difficult in a traditional classroom. This learning atmosphere has been shown to benefit student growth in problem-solving and creativity, and promotes working together in shared spaces. Through this project, the futons, portable lap desks, and rugs/pillows will be utilized to create this collaborative and comfortable learning environment. In addition to this project, I plan on purchasing several coffee tables for students to work at, as well as a set of tables and chairs.
