Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their 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. Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. I believe there is no better way to show your support for a student-centered classroom than creating a classroom from a child’s point of view. Comfortable students are engaged students. Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class. The students we share our classrooms with don’t know life without constant connectivity, Wi-Fi, and a global audience. Our classroom environments should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This simply cannot be done when kids are sitting in rows of desks all day. Flexible seating helps make learning fun! The benefits far outweigh any negatives. I'm positive flexible seating will result in a more active, engaged, enthusiastic, and relaxed room of students!
