I teach in a large classroom. I love the space, but students sitting in the back of the room tend to tune out during instruction more frequently than students sitting in the middle or the front of the room. I find, this is because they sit farther from the board, in a regular height desk. Sitting at the back of the room with these high desks, students will be able to see the projection on the front board easier, which will help their attention to instruction. Sitting up higher at the back of the classroom will also increase student participation, both with the whole class as well as with their smaller table groups. Another important reason these high desks will help my students learn, is due to the fact that many students have lots of energy, and can either stand while working or sit on a high stool, while working. This being my 17th year teaching elementary school, I am seeing more and more students with attention challenges and lots of physical energy and fidgeting. Therefore, having a few high standing desks in the back row of my classroom will provide flexible seating options for students with lots of energy, while encouraging greater instructional attention and partcipation.
