My students attend a small school in West Virginia. We are a Title I school and are located in a low socioeconomic town. Our students walk through the door every day eager to learn and willing to embrace new experiences.
Technology and STEM education have become a focus of our school, with the hope of opening a world of opportunities for our students.
Many come from broken homes and the drug epidemic is high in our area, but our students are continually trying to rise above. They are filled with passion and hope. Our motto is to believe in ourselves, and with that belief, anything is possible.
Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Our staff and our students work hard to make that a reality.
My Project
My students are constantly on the move throughout the day. We have started to implement many flexible seating options in the classroom, but I have noticed my students tend to stand a lot, especially during group work.
This standing desk would provide a workspace for students that is conducive to their learning style.
I want to provide a learning environment that is comfortable and meets the needs of my students. I truly believe flexible seating has, and will continue to enhance our classroom. The students will be able to all work around the this table and engage in learning opportunities.
More than half of students from low‑income households
