Remember sitting in hard desks as you learned? What if your classroom could be more like a coffee shop?
My students are 9th through 12th grade science and technology explorers.
My students attend school in a small, rural area. Most of my students are sons and daughters of ranchers. They are hardworking, dedicated, and curious about the world around them. They love enhancing their learning with new technology and experiencing the newest technology trends. They are fairly tech savvy as they are 1:1 with laptops and do science in a blended-gamified learning environment.
My Project
Our classroom is far from traditional. Students work in a 1:1 blended learning environment. They move through curriculum at their own pace and work towards mastery before moving on. Since our classroom routine is non-traditional, having tables and desks seems far from the environment students should be learning in. With the incorporation of two ottomans, as well as bean bag chairs, coffee tables, lamps, and carpet, the students' environment will begin to match the learning style of our classroom.
Donations to our classroom project would allow our environment to match the students' learning methods.
It would get us closer to achieving a learning environment that closely resembles a coffee shop.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
