Flexible seating has been shown to increase student engagement among students. Giving them the choice as to where to sit enables them more freedom to decide what is best for their learning style.

Offering them a variety of spaces will increase engagement and will provide a comfortable learning space for all students.I have many kinesthetic learners in my room.

This will allow students the freedom to choose where to sit so that they can attain the most knowledge and be the best learner.
