Students feel empowered and excited about their learning when they have a degree of choice. Flexible seating does just that and more! Flexible seating allows students to choose comfortable spaces where they can enjoy doing their work and engaging with peers. Sinking into a bean bag chair to read a good book and conversing with friends is the ideal learning experience. Much like bean bag chairs, collapsible floor chairs allow even the most restless bodies to relax while tending to differences in sensory input. Not only does flexible seating provide comfortable seating options, they also provide physical movement which studies show is helpful with learning. Students are able to move around the classroom to find the right nook to sink into learning.
