My Project

Many times when students reach high school there are fewer seating options that are provided in the classroom. When our students have to sit for long periods of time and are expected to learn without opportunities to move it can lead to a lack of engagement. I would like to provide flexible seating in my classroom so students are comfortable and accommodated throughout our 94-minute classes. My goal is to create a classroom environment for our students that is supportive of all learners and provides an atmosphere that is welcoming.
