短文 2

When planning for this year, our principal asked what needed to change to engage students more in their learning.

在规划本年度工作时，校长询问需要做出哪些改变才能让学生更投入地参与学习。

I responded in a whisper, flexible seating,thinking about our then current classroom.

我轻声回应：“灵活座位制”，脑海中浮现出我们当时的教室场景

It had rows of desks with blue chairs and name plates, reminding each student where they should be sitting.

一排排配有蓝色椅子和姓名牌的课桌，明确规定了每个学生的就座位置。

This began a journey to transform our practice and challenged the ways of learning for a group of year-six students used to sitting in desks and rows for years.

这一建议开启了我们教学模式的变革之旅，也向这群多年来习惯了排排坐的六年级学生发起了学习方式的挑战。

Flexible seating has been defined as movable furniture to create an engaging learning environment.

灵活座位制被定义为通过可移动家具打造沉浸式学习环境的教学模式，

It is a shift in practice from being teacher-focused to student-focused learning.

核心是从 “教师为中心” 向 “学生为中心” 的教学理念转变。

For us, flexible seating has meant removing most of the traditional chairs and desks and introducing a variety of different seating options to promote student engagement,

在我们学校，灵活座位制的实践意味着移除大部分传统桌椅，引入多样化的座位选择以提升学生的课堂参与度

the use of rows and their minimal adaptations to u-shape were traditionally intended to maximize on task behavior and reduce distraction from the teacher.

传统的排排坐模式（即便偶尔调整为 U 型），其设计初衷是最大化学生的专注度、减少对教师教学的干扰。

Teachers tend to still use this format because of either the need to control students or the belief that the teacher is the most important person in the room.

如今许多教师仍沿用这种模式，要么是出于管理学生的需要，要么是根深蒂固地认为教师是课堂的核心。

Now our students have a range of different seating options, including a floor desk, couches, stools, beanbags,

而现在，我们的学生拥有了丰富的座位选择，包括地板桌、沙发、高脚凳、懒人沙发，

and the traditional desk and chair.

以及保留的部分传统桌椅。

From our experience so far flexible seating enhances student ownership of space and engagement in learning while reducing rates of student disengagement and disciplinary actions.

从目前的实践效果来看，灵活座位制不仅让学生更有空间归属感、课堂参与度显著提升，还降低了学生的课堂走神率和纪律处分发生率，

It is a win for all concerned.

对各方而言都是一项双赢的变革。
