A Flexible Layout Empowered students are more willing to work as a team to collaborate, communicate, be creative and be critical thinkers. In seeking the the development of those skills, I would like to make the seating in our classroom more flexible. The driving concept behind 21st century classroom design is flexibility. Students’ days are full of choices that empower them to decide how they learn best, and they need an environment which supports that. An agile space also gives teachers the ability to respond to different students’ needs. Typically, these classrooms include some version of a group gathering area, multiple seating options and a flex zone that can be adapted for unique learning activities. This layout allows for a variety of grouping formats and lesson types that take into account students’ widely varying learning styles. Twenty-first-century classrooms are driven by student’s interests, and the open, flexible spaces allow students to come together to share, collaborate and create.
