Flexible seating options will give students an opportunity to choose a nonstandard type of seating that best suits their learning style. A little bit of movement helps some learners to focus. Flexible seating accommodates learners in a variety of beneficial ways. Some students prefer to sit down low on the floor using a cushion or stability ball when doing math and working with manipulatives. Others prefer to sit on a stool so they can swing their legs and move slightly in an effort to concentrate. Brain research also confirms that physical activity – moving, stretching, and walking – can actually enhance the learning process. Eric Jensen (2000), in his article Moving with the Brain in Mind, protests against the sedentary classroom style and suggests a better way to spend the long days in our classrooms, not only for students, but for teachers. Teachers need to engage students in a greater variety of postures, including walking, lying down, moving, learning against a wall or desk, perching, or even squatting. The brain learns best and retains most when the organism is actively involved in physical activity.
