Flexible seating is the new trend but it makes sense to me. I have always offered a variety of seating options during our independent reading time but I want to see the benefits throughout our day. It makes sense that if a classroom is intentionally designed to support different modes of learning, children are more apt to stay engaged. For example, They can do individual studies, group work, presentations, peer-to-peer discussion and one-on-one instruction. Herman Miller did a study, which in 2008 revealed that “giving people some control over their surroundings, adds to their sense of well-being.” I want my students to succeed and take charge of their learning. What is a great way to ensure this happens? We can make them comfortable and give them choices. Do you feel able and ready to work when you are uncomfortable? Do you make changes in order to be comfortable? Can you sit still during work meetings, at the doctors office or at a parent teacher conference? Please help us.
