My Project
Flexible seating allows students to choose where they want to sit in the classroom. There are many reasons to using flexible seating arrangements. These include encouraging student choice, building a sense of community, and improving collaboration among peers. Since students spend a significant amount of time in class, offering comfortable seating can greatly enhance their engagement and participation. Additionally, flexible seating allows students to make intentional decisions about their learning environment, helping them find the best space that meets their individual learning needs.
There are many benefits to using flexible seating arrangements.
Flexible seating provides various options for students. For some learners, staying focused on their tasks can be difficult. By offering a range of seating choices, these students can take charge of their learning spaces, making them feel more at ease and better able to concentrate.
