My Students
Think back to your elementary school years where you spent numerous hours sitting in the same plastic chairs, year after year. What would it look like if students were given a choice of where to sit or stand to complete their work and increase their learning?
I have an extremely diverse group of students from all sorts of different backgrounds and cultures.
School is a place for these children to take risks in their learning and to grow in their understanding of the world around them.
My Project
Flexible seating in a student-centered classroom gives children a voice in their learning. It offers them choice and ownership over their work. Spaces are designed to be manipulated and changed to suit a task or the needs of the learner at that point in time. Children are able to collaborate, explore concepts and problem solve.
It's all about empowering children and getting them engaged in their learning so that they can learn on a deeper level.
They are free to ask and answer their own questions. If they need time to work on their own or reflect on their learning then they are able to go to or create an environment that supports that need too. The flexible learning environment supports different learning styles and different learning needs.
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
