Study after study has shown that students perform better when they are in a structured, comfortable, and engaging environment. As I reflect back on this past year (my 1st year of teaching) I can honestly say that I did the best with what I was given. The problem is that our school is an older school and the materials that I have inherited are worn down and simply not comfortable. One thing I noticed this year was that the students learned better and stayed focused longer when they had the freedom to move around as they worked; in fact they CRAVED it. Due to the pandemic, they simply did not have the opportunity to move around the campus or classroom as much as any of us would have liked. The different seating options that I have chosen will give each student the opportunity to move, engage, and learn from the safety of their own area. Research has shown that flexible seating empowers students by giving them some sort of choice and control over their environment. By having flexible seating in my class, students will be more engaged, less distracted, and will be more collaborative with their peers. Flexible seating also encourages community building, higher-order thinking skills, communication, and overall health. From the moment my students walk into my door to the time they leave, I want them to feel safe and loved. I want them to know that they do have some choices when it comes to their education; and I want them to know that they are worthy of it.
