Project Title: Wiggle While We Work

The educational problem I would like to address is the need of flexible seating options for active kindergarten students and the impact it has on their behavior and learning potential. After meeting our incoming kindergarten class at spring open house, I discovered that our kindergarten students are very active and have many learning issues. During this school year, I am going to redesign my classroom to provide flexible seating options to see if this provides opportunities to redirect behaviors and creates a more focused learner. I will judge the success or failure of my project based on a comparison of student behavior logs before and after flexible seating were introduced and how it affects their performance on assessments.
