My Students

The students of my classroom are a cohort of diverse, intelligent, and hardworking students from around the New York City Metropolitan area. Many of my students receive free lunch and free fare to school. Our school is a selective, public, college-preparatory school with a focus on science, math, and engineering that provides a challenging academic experience that prepares students for careers in science, math, and engineering.

My students are curious thinkers, eager to know what experiments and discoveries we will make each day.

Due to budget cuts and outdated equipment, however, our classroom struggles to fully experiment to its potential. Despite these challenges, students are still enthusiastic and classroom attendance is very high. In addition, many of my middle school students have learning differences but despite the odds against them, they still manage to finish their middle school careers with two or three high school credits! As an educator, I hope to continue to help foster their learning and growth as scientists!

My Project

Research has shown that there are many benefits to having standing desks.

These benefits include:

-Lowering the risk of weight gain and long term cardiovascular disease

-Help Reduce Back Pain, especially when students don't properly fit the desks provided by the school

-Improve Mood and Energy Levels

- Boost Productivity

For these reasons, we are investing in these adjustable tables. This will help to better accommodate our students who are struggling to pay attention and/or are in pain for sitting for long periods of time. By being accommodating to their health needs we hope to also help improve their academics as well and hope that this also intrinsically motivates them to learn!
