Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am seeking help to implement flexible seating arrangements in my middle school classrooms. Research consistently demonstrates that flexible seating positively impacts student engagement, collaboration, and overall academic performance. By creating dynamic learning spaces, I aim to foster a more student-centered and adaptable educational environment.

Traditional classroom setups often limit student movement and collaboration, hindering their ability to actively participate in the learning process.

Research indicates that incorporating flexible seating arrangements can address these challenges, leading to improved academic outcomes.

According to a study published in the "Journal of Learning Spaces," flexible seating positively correlates with increased student engagement. Alternative seating options provide students with choices, empowering them to select a comfortable learning space that suits their individual preferences and needs.

My students deserve a learning environment that is conducive to learning.
