Flexible Seating Environment

Help me give my students flexible seating options to enhance student engagement and create a more serene learning environment.

My Project

Flexible seating, such as the requested cushions, allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of places in our room such as at different tables or sitting or lying on the floor with a clipboard.

Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

Letting my students choose what works best for them has decreased many behavioral issues I have experienced in the past. I have noticed positive differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desks.
