Flexible seating helps students' engagement and research shows this type of seating can lead to student success in many areas. I want my students to not only be successful but to also enjoy their learning experience and flexible seating such as bean bags, wobble chairs and yoga balls allow that. Flexible seating does not only lead to academic success but also nourishes students' life skills. Students are held accountable for their choices all day long because there are specific rules to follow. Students are also learning responsibility because they must respect the different seating options. Flexible seating benefits academically and their life skills. As a teacher we are not only responsible for students academically but also helping to shape them into respectful and responsible individuals. Flexible seating is a positive factor in all areas and even brings them joy daily in the classroom!
