My Students

My students come from an urban school district with over 9,000 students from all walks of life. In the past four years our district has seen budget cuts affecting the student learning environment to the point that over one hundreds teachers were furloughed.

As a result, class sizes have increased, supplies and programs have been cut.

Combine the larger class sizes with state budget stalemates, and our children are the ones who suffer. However, they love coming to school each day to learn!

My Project

In order for students to be successful learners they must have a classroom environment that promotes collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. The traditional classroom consists of rows of desks that does not promote what the 21st classroom should look like. Research supports the notion that physical activity is linked to greater academic performance, which a flexible classroom can provide.

We would use the rug, stand-up desk and wobble chairs to create a classroom environment the promotes students choice and will engage and motivate them as learners.

I would like to involve my students in the designing what this classroom look likes for them.
