Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom. It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed. Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive. Students learn better when they have a chance to work together. Traditional desks in rows isolate students from each other. The benefits of flexible seating empower students in choice and allow for better collaboration and improved social skills. Students take responsibility for own learning, improved overall behavior, differentiated seating opportunities. Help us differentiate our environment today!
