My Students
My students are English
Language Leaners who are eager to learn and explore the world around them.
I teach at a Title I school in Brooklyn where all students receive free breakfast, lunch and basic school supplies.
Most of these students do not have opportunities to leave their neighborhood, and live in crowded apartments where they lack personal space.
My hope is to provide a classroom environment in which students feel comfortable learning in the mode and location of their choosing.
My Project
In our classroom, students are usually engaged in group work and partner work, where they are encouraged to stand, lay down or sit any way they feel comfortable. Each day, they select their seats for the next day.
This includes lap desks, wobble stools, stability balls, floor rockers, and crates.
I've had a lot of success with flexible seating, and will continue adding more options.
By providing students with more seating options, such as oversized pillows and bean bag chairs, I will create a warm and inviting environment. One in which students feel excited to learn and engage with their peers.
Nearly all 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
