Everything I do in my classroom is based on research and best practices for kids. Redesigning my classroom was not any different. Some of the immediate benefits of flexible seating include burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, increased motivation and engagement, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain and improving core strength and overall posture. To see that some classrooms look the same now as they did 70 years ago is shameful. If student motivation and higher engagement are truly what we want, we as teachers must adapt right along with our students in the classroom.
