This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach special education in a very diverse school. My students come from a variety of backgrounds. They are eager and hardworking learners. My students have various gifts, needs, and challenges. I am able to adjust many of my instructional methods to accommodate their unique needs, however, one area I’m lacking in is flexible seating to provide optimum sensory and attention opportunities. My students are incredible and deserve an environment that gives them flexible options that give them the opportunity to be academically successful.
My Project
My students often have sensory needs and attention challenges. My current seating options include standard chairs and desks that do not allow for movement.
Wobble chairs and standing desks will give my students an opportunity to have options which help meet their unique needs.
Wobble chairs allow students to move and give sensory feedback. Standing desks allow for movement and also help students that may be struggling to focus due to inattention or hyperactivity. These options will give students the opportunity to succeed academically. My amazing students deserve to have an environment that is suited to meet their needs.
