My Project
Help me give my students flexible seating for small group instruction with these cool seats for reading time and for small group instruction!
Having comfortable seating during small group instruction is critical to allow students to fully focus and grasp the content taught.
Also, children learn best when they have choice, so for those students that need a change throughout the day this could be key for them! In an ICT classroom we have many type of learners and I try to ensure they do their very best with all accommodations.
More than three‑quarters 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
