Imagine sitting upright in one of the world's most UNCOMFORTABLE chairs for 80 minutes to just get a two-minute break and do it all over again? Would you be focused on the task at hand, or would you most remember shifting your weight back and forth to find a comfortable position and when you find it, BOOM the bell rings and you're off to the next class! Flexible seating is a way to increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Currently, in my classroom, I have three chairs which we call "comfy chairs" in which students race to be able to use each day. I've noticed these students are more focused and alert on the task at hand. I want to transform my classroom to provide that experience for all students every day. In other classrooms in my district where flexible seating is currently being used, my colleagues have mentioned that students feel more empowered with their education knowing that they are able to choose where they will be the most successful each day. I will provide students with multiple different seating options including traditional seating, higher tables, floor seating, etc. With your support in this project, I create a more student-centered classroom that meets all students' needs.
