My Project

A flexible classroom is more than just a variety in seating. Flexible classrooms amplify student voice, foster deeper collaborative learning relationships, and prioritize students' learning needs. The tables, seats, and other materials added to this project have been carefully selected in alignment with evidence based teaching strategies.

Our flexible classroom is in need of some additional supplies and classroom materials that reflect our diverse learning communities.

The seating options have been selected to allow students to move into collaborative groups easily and efficiently. Collaborative learning provides an opportunity for higher level thinking, the development of effective communication skills, and accountability for learning.

Ms. Zimmerman PS 94 W Hertel Academy Grades 6-8
