In my ideal world, I would love for my classroom to be described as “Comfortable & Collaborative”. The problem is, the collaboration aspect is not comfortable. We currently have desks that were created most likely 30 years ago, and are the ones where the desks and chairs are connected. Students struggle to move the desks to work with each other, and to be frank, they are far from comfortable. I currently follow a model in my classroom based on the Modern Classroom Project. This model has been approved by universities such as John Hopkins and George Mason. The goal is to create a self-paced learning environment for students where they complete the work for my class at their own pace. Students are encouraged to work together and lessons are built to focus on 21st Century Educational Skills which allow students to create and collaborate throughout the unit. If you were to come into my classroom, you would see 3-4 students working in groups, watching teacher-created lessons together, and working on projects and assignments together to learn the content for the lessons/units. This model has worked wonders in my classroom, especially with the crazy year we are having. Students are able to complete work at home, but also within the classroom as well. The problem is, the classroom is not a comfortable learning environment. Students are stuck in clunky desks and are in awkward situations when trying to collaborate. Adding flexible seating to my room will give students a natural place to work together. Getting this seating will complete the idea I had in my head for students to be successful in my social studies classroom.
