Flexible seating is the wave of the classroom future! Through research and trial and error, teachers all over the country are changing the way students learn and move about their classroom environment. Gone are the days of desks only lined up in rigid rows. Instead, teachers are taking the time to listen to their students' needs and adapting their classrooms to meet those needs in a variety of ways. Students with various learning requirements will all be able to find a welcoming and comfortable place to learn in a classroom that offers multiple choices for seating. This is exactly my vision for my classroom. I want to become the type of teacher that inspires students to take control of their own learning. Recently, I had an evaluation by an administrator. Her advice was to relinquish some of the control so many teachers grasp tightly to, including me! In turn, giving students opportunities for choices allows them to take more ownership of their learning. After some research and brainstorming, I decided that implementing flexible seating in my classroom is one way I can work towards this goal. When students feel like they have a say in their own learning, they naturally feel more motivated to learn. With yoga balls, floor cushions, wobble seats, and saucer chairs, there will be more than enough choices for every students' learning needs and preferences. I can't wait to see all the learning that will take place! Please help me make my classroom dream come true!
