\n\"\"Flexible seating is when students have different options of where and what they can use for seating within the classroom. Flexible seating is helpful as it allows for students to be comfortable in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Flexible seating is used to provide several different seating options in the classroom for students. Some examples that my mentor has in her room are floor tables, stools at tall tables, wobble chairs, seat cushions. There are many more options out there as well like bean bags and scoop chairs. In my mentor\u2019s room she has an easel right by the door that has 6 rows\u2019, each with a card representing one of the seating options. Then there is a card with each student\u2019s name and picture, when the student\u2019s come into the room in the morning they move their card to the row with the card of the type of seating they would like to sit at that day. This is great for two reasons; it allows students to sit at new places and with new people each day and as a bonus it helps when taking attendance. Now rather than interrupting the student\u2019s during their morning journaling all my mentor has to do is look at which cards haven\u2019t been moved for the day.<\/p>\n

I believe that the supportive phase is the best place for this tool as it is beneficial to student learning. Allowing students to choose where they sit can help them learn, by being comfortable or being able to fidget at their seat can help student\u2019s focus and learn. I think that this tool fits best with student directed, collaborative and teacher directed theories. This is true because this tool is mainly used by the students and is to help them be successful in the classroom, it also fits under the teacher directed theory for the attendance aspect.<\/p>\n
