Middle level students love desks about as much as they love writing a TDA! In fact, research shows that changing up your space and offering a variety of seating options can have a positive immediate impact on the culture of your classroom and student engagement. Come learn how you can begin the process of incorporating flexible seating into your space to optimize learning, decrease disruptions, and maximize engagement.

This presentation will show you how several teachers in a rural middle school transitioned to flexible seating and the positive classroom data that came out of the move.
