More than half of students from low鈥慽ncome households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education.
Alternative seating encourages independence and ownership to one's learning which I found to be surprisingly successful this year as I experimented with flexible seating options. While using carpet swatches from the carpet store and a few extra office chairs as well as bean bags, I quickly noticed that the freedom to choose where and what my students sat on truly made a difference!
Offering additional seating options encouraged more engagement, a higher percentage of work completed and less fidgeting, which, in turn meant less disruptions.
The seats that I have selected will be such a beneficial addition to our learning environment. They will accommodate paper materials as well as laptops due to their easy-to-care-for material and durable design. The students can use them on the floor, on classroom chairs and benches as well as easily carry them from room to room.
I am looking so forward to offering a variety of seating options for my students as I witnessed the positive behaviors and completed assignments that flexible seating provided.
