My Project

The partitions will allow students to take charge of their learning and create a quiet/distraction-free workspace. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. However, with 20 kids in a classroom, you can only spread out so much. Making sure students are able to focus is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in what their work area looks like. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice to use a partition.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional options to make their learning space more successful. There are also times when we are taking an assessment and I notice many students' eyes wander. It would be really helpful to have the option to have all kids get a partition. My last set lasted me 10 years but they are very worn and barely serve the purpose anymore. In addition, due to the fact that they are lightweight, they can be easily be shared with other classrooms (reaching even more students).

I have experienced the positive outcome of having partitions and hope to continue being able to offer this tool to future students!
