My Project

By offering diverse books, students are exposed to various cultures, experiences and perspectives, which helps them develop empathy and a deeper understanding of the world. Flexible seating empowers students to take ownership of their learning environment, promoting comfort and a sense of autonomy.

By helping my students, I can create a space where all students feel valued and can thrive both academically and socially.

Every learner is unique and this project will better help me show that their individual needs are recognized and met. Ultimately, this project will create a more inclusive, dynamic, and supportive classroom for all students!
