Flexible seating is a simple way to elevate student engagement and productivity in the classroom. By giving students the ability to choose seating that works for them, I can help students to feel empowered by giving them a sense of control over their environment. Allowing student choice in the classroom helps to prepare them for a world full of choices. Many flexible seating options allow students to wobble, bounce, and move in ways that increase blood flow to the brain, which heightens focus and helps children stay more alert. Various studies have shown that movement in the classroom boosts students' on-task behavior, which leads to deeper learning. By implementing flexible seating in my classroom, I will increase students' enthusiasm for school and engagement in learning. Collaboration is an important part of the learning process, and flexible seating allows for quick and easy group formation without students having to worry about moving desks or finding space to work. This allows them to spend more time working together on the learning activity, which allows for higher-order thinking and learning. Please consider helping me to create a student-centered classroom!
