Where do you do your best work? Is it sitting at a table at a coffee shop, a quiet desk at home, or relaxing in a reclining chair? Does your seating preference depend on the kind of work you need to complete? These were all questions floating around my head after I first read a blog about a current classroom designed to recreate the atmosphere of a Starbucks Coffee shop. The different environments we work in can have an impact on the quality of work we produce. As an educator, I would like to adopt this mentality when I set up my classroom environment. Students have different needs and preferences, and my classroom should support all of them. If adults have the choice of where to sit and how they want to work, then students should too. If students are old enough to make a decision about their learning, then it is my responsibility to give them the opportunity. I believe failure is a part of learning, so I will encourage my students to try their best and make mistakes. By making and learning from mistakes my students will realize the importance of taking responsibility for and owning their mistake. The overall goal of educators is to get our students ready for the real world, so we need to adapt our classroom environments to reflect life outside of school, and inside the real-world full of choice and responsibility. Not only will different seating options give student a choice, but it will also meet the sensory needs of special education students.
