My Project

My students are in a Career and Technical Education program for Health Sciences. They are excited to be able to learn information that will assist them in becoming future healthcare professionals upon graduation from high school. My Health-Related Technology program students have 90+ minute periods and need an area to be able to take “brain breaks” from learning.

Having alternate seating will allow them to take brain breaks in a comfortable and relaxing classroom/lab area.

They can reenergize themselves to focus better during the second half of class.

I believe adding alternate seating will be a game changer for many of my students struggling to remain on-task during these long class periods. Please show our students that others recognize the difficulty of a long class period and that you care for their well-being.
