I am a special education teacher and my students have a wide variety of disabilities and needs. As a teacher, my main focus in my classroom is to meet kids wherever they are and help them learn and improve from there. One of the ways I do this is to provide flexible seating and work areas for my students. They have options around my room to choose from to help them manage their own sensory needs while still completing work and improving their skills.
"Flexible seating and flexible learning spaces encourage movement within the classroom.
Without this movement, brain activity is reduced when as body becomes inactive thus students become motionless and learning does not take place (Harvey & Kenyon, 2013, p.3)"
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
