Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and motivated to learn when they are given a choice of where to work. I have also noticed an improvement in students working in groups when they get to choose where they want to do their work as a team.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The high stools will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables. The Surf Portable Lap Desks allow students to sit on the floor and use this product as a laptop stand and/or writing table. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and attitude and hope that the additional options will help.
