Flexible Classroom

The Need for Flexibility

The flexible classroom includes furniture that can be easily adapted to work with a variety of lesson styles, from traditional lecture to hands-on group projects. Since this classroom's layout can change several times a day, furnishings need to be mobile or lightweight to make new arrangements a breeze. The flexible classroom gives students freedom to choose the type of workspace that's best for them. Whether students prefer traditional school chairs, soft seating, or wobble stools, incorporating seating variety ensures students stay comfortable throughout the day. Teachers should be able to choose workspace configurations that work best with the day's lessons. Rolling solutions like mobile whiteboards or storage units allow teachers and students to access tools and present ideas. Research shows that when students control their space, they are more likely to participate in class discussions and even do better on standardized tests.

What Makes a Great Flexible Arrangement Classroom?

For Students

The best flexible learning space should include furnishings that keep students comfortable so they can focus on their work. Students should select from a variety of workspace and seating options, have easy access to supplies, and be able to move around the room with ease. Mobile or easy-to-move workstations make it simple to arrange into large or small collaborative groups.

For Teachers

The flexible classroom should be easily arranged and rearranged to accommodate both whole-class demonstrations and smaller collaborative groups. A variety of seating and tabletop options help teachers keep students focused and attentive throughout the day. Configurable furniture assists teachers in arranging spaces to best accommodate student work with easy organizational systems for quick setup and cleanup.

For Administrators

The flexible learning space should be equipped with products selected with specific facility needs in mind. All products must be available when needed and arrive on time with quick, efficient installation.
