Currently in our classroom we are working on a project to make our environment reflect the 21st Century classroom with flexible learning space. We will include three different kinds of seating: floor, desks and chairs, and standing tables as options for students to choose where they feel they work best. The current research in education says that giving students more choice in where they sit to learn and do their work results in greater focus and engagement, and ultimately, more learning! Explore the blog to follow our journey.
