I hope to enhance the learning environment to give choice in seating options. Students spend thirty hours a week in school and creating space that will encourage collaboration along with comfort is my goal. Many students also have difficulty sitting in a chair for long periods of time. Being able to move and change seating can eliminate the behavior issues that may arise. Other students prefer personal space and flexible seating will allow positional choice with in the classroom. They can pull the chairs together as they are reading and solving problems.   I want to offer students a variety of seating choices so they have an option to choose what works best for them as an individual student. Creating areas for collaboration will help students become 21 Century learners.
