I have students from many backgrounds of culture, families, and of course - learning abilities. Typically students with learning differences is below 30% of the general classroom. The upcoming year will have a number closer to 40% of the class with an IEP or other specialized learning program. The families in our community rely on our school to support the students' academic and social/emotional growth. We, the teachers and staff, know that the two areas of learning are not distinct from each other. Students with strong emotional and social supports are better in academic areas of the school. Students with strong academic skills need the balance of social and emotional learning to sustain and apply their learning through the years. My projects are designed to offer better opportunities for students in my school for learning and growing over time.
My Project
Students have been at home in various learning environments for the past school year. Allowing movement and choices in seating gives them the freedom to use what works. Typical classrooms have a flat chair and desk where the student is expected to stay for a majority of the day. Movement in a classroom safely is tricky as it gets crowded with learning projects and people! Flexible seating choices let the student move while seated and improves stamina. Flexible seating should be portable within a classroom and offer different heights and surfaces.
More than half 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
