The research on flexible seating in classrooms has grown significantly over the last decade, and the conclusion is remarkably consistent: when students have agency over where and how they sit, academic engagement improves, disruptive behavior decreases, and both focus and collaboration increase.

# 8 Ways to Stay Mighty
MooreCo has been committed to providing environments where people can thrive for over 3 decades. But [what does it mean to thrive?](https://blog.moorecoinc.com/what-does-it-mean-to-thrive) Once all of our survival needs are met (safety, food, shelter, water), we can focus on the higher range of needs. Hierarchy by MooreCo was inspired by [Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs.](https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-maslows-hierarchy-of-needs-4136760) We imagined a world where students were not only stimulated, but supported, encouraged, and set up to succeed in all their learning endeavors.

# What Does it Mean to Thrive?
At MooreCo, we’re big on thriving. Our [Thrive Philosophy](https://blog.moorecoinc.com/6-stages-of-human-development-that-inspire-design-strategies) came about in 2019, to focus on designing spaces that encourage physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social-emotional, and moral development. Even as there were opportunities to help students thrive then, the pandemic made that need even more dire. The past year has taken a toll on students, teachers, and parents in ways that will take time to recover. With the help of [ESSER funds](https://go.moorecoinc.com/resources/8-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-esser-funds) allocated to schools to help with this recovery, our hope is that schools and students will have access to the resources and spaces they need to truly thrive.

# The Four Corners of Harmonious Classroom Design
“To slow time down, practice enjoying the moment. It is where we spend our entire lives.” This wisdom from the I Ching describes an ideal way to live by slowing down. In the digital age, however, it’s getting more and more difficult to take this sage advice. Because of the pandemic, we are even more devoted to time spent on our devices, staring at screens with fast-paced minds. Among students, this trend has had some negative consequences. Adolescents and young adults (known as Gen Z) are [struggling with mental health](https://www.aecf.org/blog/generation-z-and-mental-health) more than previous generations. When students return to school this fall, it will be important to consider their mental, physical, and emotional health. But educators, parents, and school designers would be remiss to discount the benefits of considering students’ spiritual development when creating spaces and schedules for student health. This doesn’t mean subscribing to a certain system of belief. It can be as simple as integrating space for silence, breathing, and reflection.

# Technology and the Renaissance of Education
A new era of education may be coming for American teachers and students. With [ESSER funding](https://go.moorecoinc.com/resources/8-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-esser-funds) now available for schools across the country, each institution and district will assess what is to help students succeed in a post-pandemic world. Unfortunately, learning loss caused by the pandemic may have a ripple effect that lasts years. McKinsey & Company put out [findings](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/public-and-social-sector/our-insights/covid-19-and-learning-loss-disparities-grow-and-students-need-help) that state that learning loss from the pandemic disproportionately affects students of color. In order to even the playing field and create equity among students, the learning gap must be closed.

# Why Every School Needs to Prioritize SEL
As students wrap up an unprecedented school year, many families are beginning to reflect on their experience with hybrid, online, or in-person learning during a pandemic. It hasn’t been without its challenges. In fact, [learning loss](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/30/learning-loss-from-virtual-school-due-to-covid-is-significant-.html) is projected to be a huge problem in coming years for k-12 students. But as [COVID-19 positivity continues to decline](https://theweek.com/coronavirus/1001051/us-daily-average-of-covid-19-cases-dips-below-20000-for-1st-time-since-march), students can likely rely on the idea that they will be learning in person this fall. What that means for schools and educators is that time and energy will be needed to help students catch up to make up for time lost this year due to problems with virtual learning. A reported 15 million American students were without access to the tools needed to learn online, leaving many behind in already existing learning gaps. This is why the federal government has allocated[ESSER funds for schools to spend](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/24/us/covid-schools-federal-funding.html). This money is meant to be used to help students recuperate academically and mentally from the effects of the pandemic. Mental health services within schools will be needed, as well as an increased emphasis on social-emotional learning, or SEL.

# 5 Benefits of Esports Spaces in Educational Design
If you’re not sure what esports are, you aren’t alone. But for educators, parents, and designers of educational environments, it’s time to learn. This competitive video gaming is quickly gaining popularity as a form of extracurricular activity for intermediate and higher learning institutions. As the popularity of esports continues to rise, it may become even more significant following the pandemic. There are many benefits to esports in educational environments and this will be particularly important as students begin to reintegrate to in-person learning after a year in partial isolation. So how can esports benefit your school or student? Here are just benefits for your consideration.
