For some, the ability to be on our feet and sway a little can make all the difference in processing information and producing our best work. For others, standing leads to distractions and sitting is where they soar best. And then there are those who work best in the most nontraditional settings where tables and chairs are varied or non-existent.
This year in the DC art room, we aim to accommodate and encourage the learning styles of all students with our new flexible seating arrangement! We have tables geared for those who prefer a more traditional setting but still enjoy having options with our "SIT or STAND" areas. Our "STANDing" area provide two different heights for those that think best on their feet. Even the floor has been utilized in our "KNEELing" and "FLOOR" options for those who work best in a more relaxed setting.
Over the first few weeks, students have really enjoyed the ability to chose and are really taking ownership of their learning as they discover under which options they S.O.A.R. best. As an added bonus, we have all enjoyed how the room appears not only more open in terms of space, but also more inviting (if that's even possible ;) )
