My Project

I have been doing some research on flexible-seating in the classroom, and here is what I have concluded about it: Flexible-seating allows more student choice and options for the students. This allows the students in the classroom be comfortable in the place they are learning which will lead to students being more engaged. The students then may be more attentive and will be more likely to participate in discussions that create a more meaningful, impactful learning experience.

I am asking for a round table to incorporate flexible-seating in the classroom.

The research is promising and I want to do whatever I can to improve my students' learning. My students already enjoy siting in places other than their traditional classroom chair.
