My students are good-natured people, but many of them lack the motivation to succeed academically. My goal is to transform my social studies classroom into a place where students WANT to be, rather than where they HAVE to be. A classroom that gives them a choice of where and how to sit according to how they work best is the first step in what will hopefully be not just a transformation of their learning space, but of their perception of education as well. I want my students to enter my classroom feeling like they are important individuals who matter and have the ability to make the world a better place if they try hard to succeed.
