Do effective teachers sit at their desks throughout class? I would argue they don’t. Teachers that are closer to the learning environment make a bigger impact on student achievement than those teachers who routinely assign work to the students and then sit behind their desks. With a flexible seating environment, having as much space as you can for students to work is critical! Too often teacher desks are the largest piece of furniture in the classroom and create a kind of barrier between a teacher and his or her students. I want to break down that barrier and create a space where both my students and I can lead the classroom during instruction! With this standing desk, my students will be just as comfortable as I will be behind it, next to it or in front of it working with their peers on innovative singing strategies, sharing their music on the document camera, or conducting presentations. Added bonus...this desk has storage space that can be used as a mini classroom music library! We cannot wait to add this piece of furniture to our coffee-shop style classroom this year with YOUR help!
