My Project

Flexible seating allows students to choose seating options that are most comfortable and conducive to their learning style, leading to increased engagement in classroom activities and lessons.

Goals are to minimize distractions and help students maintain focus on learning tasks by providing comfortable and ergonomic seating options that support concentration.

Also to allow for movement and flexibility within the classroom environment, promoting active learning and physical engagement.

ENL students often offer a global perspective, drawing from their experiences in different countries or regions. They contribute unique insights that broaden the perspectives of their classmates. They also play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community within the classroom. Their inclusion and participation contribute to a supportive and inclusive learning environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
