Many different research studies were reviewed to explore this project. The research focuses on the areas of flexible seating, Chinese immersion, student learning environments, and student engagement. The major learnings, limitations, and benefits to educators are addressed. The conclusion of this project highlights the benefits of using flexible seating in a Chinese immersion elementary school
