My Project

These flexible seating options empower students to take an active role in their own learning by giving them the freedom to choose the seating arrangement that best suits their unique needs, preferences, and learning styles. Whether they focus better while standing, sitting on a stool, or relaxing on a cushion, students can find a space that helps them feel comfortable, valued, and ready to learn. By honoring their individuality and promoting autonomy, flexible seating encourages students to become more engaged, responsible, and motivated learners. My students and I thank you for your consideration!
