I remember when I was going through school, and sat in a hard chair for 8 hours straight. By the end of the day, I was more concerned about how uncomfortable I was rather than what my teacher was saying. Research has shown that flexible seating increases student engagement. In my opinion, student engagement is the most important aspect of learning. Students need to be engaged to listen, practice, process information, and ask questions. Within my classroom, I frequently have students with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and flexible seating is an amazing tool that allows students to move and activate their brain. A huge challenge in school is students struggling to engage in learning because they didn't get enough sleep the previous night. I have personally seen the change in engagement by allowing students to move around the room and change their seating. In addition, since I teach two grade levels within my classroom (7th and 8th grade) I split up instruction for a variety of my classes. For example, I might teach my 7th graders for half the period in math, and then teach my 8th graders for the other half. Flexible seating would allow a place for the other group to go during the first or second half of the period, where they are not distracted, to work independently. Flexible seating allows students to look forward to independent work time! My students would also use flexible seating for group work, alternative seating options during lessons, rewards, and incentives. It would be a great motivation for students to do their best. Flexible seating creates a positive and interactive learning environment that allows students to stimulate their brain to learn most effectively. My students and I thank you for reading about our project!
