My Project
Flexible seating options like futons and stools will provide students with a comfortable and adaptable learning environment that encourages engagement and collaboration. A futon offers a cozy space for independent reading, small group discussions, and creative thinking, while stools allow for movement and alternative seating arrangements that help students focus. By giving students a choice in where and how they learn, they can develop autonomy, responsibility, and increased motivation.
With flexible seating, I can Increase Student Engagement – A dynamic classroom layout will help maintain student interest and participation.
Support Different Learning Styles – Students can choose seating that best suits their needs, whether they need to move, sit comfortably, or work in small groups.
Encourage Collaboration – A flexible space will facilitate students' project collaboration, fostering communication and teamwork skills.
Promote Comfort and Well-Being – A more relaxed environment can reduce anxiety and increase a sense of belonging, helping students feel safe and valued.
My students are unique because they bring a variety of strengths, experiences, and perspectives to the classroom. They thrive when allowed to take ownership of their learning and benefit from an environment that fosters curiosity, movement, and choice. When given the right tools and space to succeed, they are creative, eager to explore, and capable of collaboration. Flexible seating will empower them to engage with learning in the best way for them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
