Research shows that flexible seating, where students have multiple options for where and how they sit in class, leads to better engagement and overall behavior. . Ridding the classrooms of the 1 desk per child framework, allows students to share supplies and fosters a community first classroom mindset.
By offering different seating options in the classroom, my students will be able to choose how and where they learn best. For some of my movement-oriented students, having the option to use a wobble stool or stability ball while learning can help improve their focus and engagement.
Classroom furniture in my district is limited. I waited three years for a kidney table to use with my reading groups, and only got that because a fellow teacher retired. This project will help me to provide more choice and student-led learning in my classroom.
