Flexible classrooms empower student choice, increase student engagement, and improve student participation. A flexible seating environment is NOT: a special chair designated as a treat or reward, a reading corner with a few bean bags, replacing all the chairs in the classroom with a class set of yoga balls, the same thing as “personalized learning”, a new fad — Montessori schools have been using these concepts for years. Instead, flexible seating environments: provide all students with choices about to sit (or stand), can be reconfigured quickly and easily, involve a wide variety of seating types, uses the physical environment of the classroom to improve learning, are grounded in research about classroom design. There has been considerable research on the benefits of students being able to move around for their health and fitness—and suggestions that it helps their brains too. In her book Smart Moves, Why Learning is Not All in your Head, education consultant Carla Hannaford suggests that some 13 studies show that when students move around in a classroom, they are more engaged and can better “anchor new information and experience into neural networks.”
