S4 Episode 13: Innovative Classroom Flexible Seating

Episode Notes

Do you have trouble sitting still for a two-hour training? Imagine how your students feel during the school day! Flexible seating doesn’t have to be complex, but it surely can impact classroom climate. By changing the physical space for students, we can prompt them to take ownership of their personal behavior and learning. This episode of #3PsinaPod showcases Yolanda Everett’s best practices and tips for success with flexible seating. The fourth-grade teacher from Sierra Vista Unified School District says after 10 years in the field, she needed a change — more than a paint job or a grade-level swap. Instead, the teaching veteran, National Board candidate, and mother of three, wanted to see what might help her students learn best. Listen as Danielle and Mary hear how swapping out desks for tire chairs and exercise balls has turned Everett’s classroom upside for the better!
