Flexible Seating makes students more
​creative and engaged

Flexible seating is one of the innovations of STE@M programming that enables students to collaborate as they work in small groups. Teacher Christina Bropson wrote to tell us about the 5th and 6th grade students at Atlantic Highlands Elementary School:

"The chairs have been a great use for students when they are sitting too long and need to be able to move around. They help give to keep the students more engaged because they are enjoying the class more with the seats.

​"The seats are also used for a reward system for students who are on task and have completed their homework. When working in small groups it is easy for the students to pull up one of the stools and do different station activities with the teacher."

Thank you to our premium sponsors!
Students are really loving the new flexible seating!
