I would like to provide my students with additional seating options during instruction. These seating options will enhance student engagement during rigorous academic activities and encourage collaboration among learners. I've found that the ability to move around during instructional activities greatly increases my students' level of engagement. In addition, students who have a greater freedom of movement are much more likely to engage in meaningful collaboration with their peers. In the article, Flexible Seating and Student-Centered Classroom Redesign by K. Delzer, she sites "some of the immediate benefits (PDF) of flexible seating include burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, increased motivation and engagement, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain, and improving core strength and overall posture." With these additional seating options, I anticipate my students will have an even greater level of engagement and collaboration during instruction!
