Flexible seating sets the expectation that differences are to be embraced and that students may choose what enhances their academic learning best. Students problem solve together in a variety of seating arrangements including: traditional desks grouped together, students lying on the floor with clipboards, children sitting side-by-side on a couch with the legs removed, teens sitting at a kidney table and some choose to stand over a tall bookcase. My students remain focused on the given task because they are not preoccupied with the discomforts and distractions related to sitting still in one place too long. They have proven over time that if one seating arrangement does not work for them they have other options.
My students stay enthused with their given tasks along with their peers with minimal prompting when their individual sensory needs are met through flexible seating and cooperative learning experiences.
The furniture and sensory items I have chosen will help my students make a broader range of choices with their diversified needs. The wobble stools are adjustable and can be moved easily for independent and cooperative learning tasks. The yoga ball chairs let students move their bodies while maintaining instructional focus. In addition to the flexible seating, the wide range of math manipulatives, cooperative learning books and games requested will keep students engaged and increase communication and teamwork with their peers. This shared math reasoning contributes to academic success.
