My Project

By incorporating a variety of seating choices, including stability stools and cushions, I want to create a comfortable and engaging learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my English Language Learners. Flexible seating has been shown to increase student engagement, focus, and academic performance. Additionally, flexible seating can help reduce disruptive behaviors and promote collaboration among students, which can lead to higher language acquisition and overall academic achievement.

The goals for this project are to increase student engagement, promote student choice, enhance collaboration and communication, improve academic performance, and support the diverse needs of my ELL students.

Flexible seating accommodates different learning styles and sensory needs, ensuring that all students can thrive in the classroom. Thank you for your consideration for this project.
