Flexible seating may seem like the next big trend in education, but it is so much more than that. As all teachers know, children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.
Among the countless benefits, flexible seating will provide my students with choice and comfort, while promoting community and collaboration within the classroom.
Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. Additionally, it encourages them to take turns in different locations and with different seating options. Flexible seating also allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class.
