Sharing: Flexible Seating and Student-Centered Classroom Redesign
Flexible Seating and Student-Centered Classroom Redesign | Edutopia
Everything I do in my classroom is based on research and best practices for kids. Redesigning my classroom was not any different. I’ve found that some of the immediate benefits 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. It’s no surprise that physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior.
It was only 14 years ago when I last saw an elementary classroom with the desks in rows.
