Providing flexible seating in the classroom allows students a level of comfort necessary to meet their natural need to move and adjust throughout the day, which helps them stay attentive during class. Physical activity throughout the day helps students expend extra energy and stay focused, putting to rest the old adage that sitting still helps students pay attention. Supporting the positive effects of motion in the classroom, flexible seating allow students to easily adjust their position in countless ways throughout the day. My Project We always hear that it is good to give your students choices. Why then do we very rarely give our students choices in where and how they sit in class each day? Flexible seating gives students a choice in what kind of learning space works best for them, and helps them to work collaboratively, communicate, and engage in critical thinking. If we truly want to prepare our students for the real world, we need to put them in responsive, dynamic environments that reflect life outside of a traditional classroom. And what’s that life outside like? Full of choices, where adults are responsible for their own learning. The goal for this project is to give my students flexible seating, or different choices of places to learn in our classroom. Flexible seating will strengthen our classroom environment, get students their needed movement, and give students a sense of belonging. Flexible seating like soft seats will give my students additional opportunities for the freedom to choose where and how they learn within the classroom.
