My Project

When students feel physically comfortable and mentally focused, they are far more likely to engage deeply with their learning. Flexible seating promotes autonomy, reduces restlessness, and supports students’ ability to choose how they learn best. Headphones ensure every student can clearly access audio content without distractions, allowing for personalized, uninterrupted learning experiences.

These tools will help maximize my students’ potential by:

Supporting diverse learning styles and sensory needs

Increasing engagement and time on task

Enhancing comprehension and literacy skills

Creating a classroom environment where all students can thrive and succeed

Thank you!
