I am starting my career as a teacher right out of school. Research has proved that the ways of the traditional classroom is ineffective and losing the interest of our students. By having flexible seating, as well as basic classroom supplies and materials such as markers, a laminating machine, a paper trimmer and Washi tape, I will be able to create an experience that matches the growing minds of our youth. No student should be learning in an environment that matches the 1950's classroom structure. Our world has shifted, the curriculum has advanced, technology is expanding and so should the experience in our classroom. With your donation towards my project, I will be able to begin shifting from a traditional classroom experience to a 2020 classroom experience. Thank you!
