Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom to complete their work. My current students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more focused, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. I am confident my new class will benefit from flexible seating arrangements around the room!
