To get a student’s attention away from social media and hand-held devices, teachers and staffers have had to step up their game! Enter: flexible seating.
The modern classroom experience has evolved. Today’s students work in groups, interact with peers, and follow examples from an engaged teacher who is more involved than in years past. Forget dusty chalkboards and stiff seating that makes for sore backs and bottoms. Modern students are up and about, communicating with their teams and developing their unique talents in a group setting.
At OfficeMakers we know that a modern school day requires students to move and adapt. That’s why we offer SmartLink for our educational institutions. SmartLink is a collection of holistic desks, seating, storage, and presentation tools designed to keep students and teachers energized and organized all day long!
1. Student Choice Equals Student Success
When students are allowed to choose their chair and where to place it, they can feel empowered, and ultimately more comfortable making decisions, The “real world” beyond school is full of endless choices. By enabling students to sit in groups and move throughout their study period, we provide them with a chance to make choices and experience positive and negative consequences.
2. Collaboration Skills Soar
Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in groups, or participate in a class discussion without wasting precious classroom time re-arranging class furniture. It’s far more difficult to collaborate as a group when students sit in traditional rows.
3. Teachers Move Group to Group and Teach More Effectively
We’re no strangers to educational furniture requirements at OfficeMakers. We understand that a student’s success relies on a teacher’s effort. Teachers, we appreciate you! It’s much easier for a teacher to move among a few groups of students than continually pacing up and down rows of desks. Education professionals can feel less exhaustion at the end of the day, even though they’ve been active and involved with classes all day long.
4. Different Learning Styles Function Better in Dynamic Classrooms
Everyone learns differently. By allowing students to collaborate, they glean more information from their peers than traditional bookwork. Which leads us to our next point:
5. Sensory Challenges Can Be Alleviated
It’s no secret that sensory processing issues lead to problems in the classroom setting. They can become distracted, lose their focus, and struggle to stay on-point listening to an ongoing monologue. Student engagement is a key factor in these cases!
Students who experience sensory challenges in a traditional classroom setting will learn faster, retain more information, and develop better social connections via flexible seating options in class.
