Flexible Classroom

For 21st Century Teaching & Learning 

Create a learning space that changes with your needs throughout the school day, giving you a classroom where you and your students will feel comfortable, focused, and inspired.

Check out our innovative array of flexible seating and teaching options designed or curated by experienced classroom teachers for teachers because they understand what a supportive classroom environment calls for.

So, why flexible seating? Just as each of us has a unique set of fingerprints, we all learn in different ways. The flexible seating classroom products available at Really Good Stuff® allow you to custom-design practically any space to suit individual educational needs and goals. The selection of alternative seating for the classroom and other products here empower you to give your students the best classroom experience possible.

All that’s left now is a couple common questions we hear: what is flexible seating in the classroom, and what are flexible classrooms?

Unlike traditional classrooms with desks and chairs lined up like a regiment of soldiers, an alternative seating classroom empowers educators to customize all or part of their space to meet the learning needs of each and every student. Research on flexible seating and classrooms suggests these innovative techniques will lead to better learning outcomes.

Alternative seating for students is particularly appropriate for younger children just learning to adapt to their new academic environment. Alternative seating in classrooms offers something different from the standard desk-and-chair combo. Creative elementary classroom seating arrangements might include ball chairs or wobble chairs, which can help kids burn off excess energy and anxiety while making learning fun.

In addition to flexible seating for classrooms, you’ll find plenty of other products here designed by teachers for teachers to give you the most flexible classroom possible. These include mobile accessories like portable dry-erase boards and school-supply caddies that give you the ability to work with small or large groups practically anywhere.


Frequently Asked Questions

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that being flexible is paramount to accessing education. Flexible learning is the pedagogical ideal of meeting students where they are and supporting all ability levels with the tools required to grow and succeed at the highest potential. Like all of us, students learn in different ways. Creating a flexible learning space makes your job easier by helping each student feel more comfortable, focused and inspired to keep learning.

The traditional idea of a classroom requires identical chairs and desks lined up like a regiment of soldiers. However, not every student is set up for success using this format. Flexible seating explodes this antiquated notion by helping teachers customize portions or the entirety of their classroom or at-home space with alternative seating options that meet the needs of all kinds of different learners. Choices include floor mats for small groups, wobble chairs for burning off anxious energy in place, mobile options for moving between rooms and more.

Whether you’re reinforcing social distancing requirements in the new age of teaching, addressing behavior issues or developing a virtual learning space from home, flexible seating is designed to create the best learning environment possible for every student. Some kids need an outlet to burn off excess energy, and some could use a fun way to capture their attention. In reality, there are multiple reasons to adapt your classroom. Overall, the purpose of flexible seating is to support effective education in any space for any learner, whatever that may look like.

Any classroom or at-home teaching space may include several areas marked off for a variety of activities. If your curriculum involves hands-on lessons, story-telling time, physical activities or even lessons that venture outdoors, flexible classroom seating is right for you. There are so many options to choose from that, truly, every classroom can benefit from flexible seating in one form or another. This includes keeping them healthy and encouraged to learn, regardless of the challenges they may be up against.

Start by assessing your students and curriculum for flexible seating needs. If you encounter students with attention difficulties or special needs, choose flexible seating that helps keep them focused or accommodates their physical limitations. Draw a floor plan of your learning space and mark off areas for individual quiet time, group activities, music or arts education and more. Then identify the classroom furniture that will make organization, identification and access as easy as possible.

The best flexible seating options help your students feel comfortable, focused and inspired. Consider portable seating, floor seating or ergonomic options; you want them to have a say and improve in their learning. Browse the options at Really Good Stuff for the best prices and easy payment plans that keep you within your budget while tailoring the learning environment to your class’s needs.
