My Project

I have the best students and I want them to feel empowered by having some choice and say about their learning 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. An uncomfortable student is a distracted and unproductive student. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused, and productive. Flexible seating helps make learning fun! When students are having fun they will be more active, engaged, enthusiastic, happy, and ready to learn.
