My Project

This year I am in my second year as the school's math interventionist and instructional coach.

I am asking for additional flexible seating options that will meet a more diverse group of students and to replace some previous seating.

Since I will be supporting students from primary grades to middle school grades, I want to ensure that I have enough seating options for all learners in our classroom. The yoga flexible seating will be used around the classroom for primary and intermediate students. Since my classroom is shared with the reading interventionist, these options will impact students across multiple content areas and grade levels.
