By providing a variety of seating options for our students, we allow our students the opportunity for choice to be number one. It holds them accountable for their learning. With these seating options, our students will succeed in a learning environment where each students' learning needs differ and are met. Research states, "Optimizing all of these physical characteristics of primary classrooms improved academic performance in reading, writing, and mathematics by 16 percent." "The personalization of classrooms—including flexibility, which Barrett defined as “student choice within the space”—accounted for a full quarter of that improvement. Another way to look at it: When isolated from other measured factors, classroom flexibility is about as important as air quality, light, or temperature in boosting academic outcomes."(P. Barrett, L. Barrett, Davies, and Zhang). As previously stated, flexible seating options allow our students to prosper. Your contribution to our plight will help make our students' dreams become a reality.
