Flexible classrooms give students a choice in what kind of learning space works best for them. This helps them to work collaboratively, communicate with each other, and engage in critical thinking. There are studies that show that classrooms with flexible seating increase student's attitude and engagement, increase student participation and conversation and in turn improve student's grades and scores.
We've individualized instruction for years now but still expect kids to sit in hard chairs at desks for 7 hours a day. With flexible seating I will be able to allow my students to have the space and movement that they need to stay focused and engaged.
The variety of seating I have chosen will provide students with different textures and heights for the students to work at. The cushions will allow them to sit comfortably on the floor. The lap trays will give them something to work on of they choose to sit on the floor. Some options, like the exercise ball chairs, also allow movement without it being disruptive to the learning environment.
With your help my student's can have the ultimate learning environment!
