My Project

Hello! Please help me give my students seating options this year! I love teaching and it is hard to watch my students squirm and constantly move around in the hard desk chairs throughout the day. This is why I would like to introduce flexible seating in my ICT classroom this year. All students have different learning styles and it is the teachers job to support all types of learners.

By allowing the students to choose their seat, it will not only empowered them but it will also improvement the learning and attention that can occur in our classroom.

That is why I believe that my selected seating options will meet the needs of a whole classroom. As we know, all students have different learning styles and it is the teachers job to support all types of learners.
