This week Kari and I are sharing an article with you about the use of flexible seating in your classroom. Research has shown many positive benefits of using flexible seating including increased engagement, higher academic performance, and improved behavior. These benefits and the research that was referenced are outlined in this article by Kayla Delzer, a teacher and educational consultant. She states, "Redesigning a classroom or implementing unassigned flexible seating is a shift in both structure and teaching philosophy -- an entire mindset shift." I hope you will take some time to read and think about this article. Could this be something that will work for you and your students?
