This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
As a Special Education Teacher, Coach, and Athletic Director I try my best, on a daily basis, to meet ALL of my learners needs! Northeast Guilford Middle is a Title 1 school, which mainly serves minority students. We have a wide range of learners, from the exceptional children to the academically gifted. Our school was built in 1967 and has a long tradition of hard workers and community pride! We have worked extremely hard the last few years trying to develop a learning environment that promotes movement and rigor, builds confidence and asks for exceptional effort!
My Project
MIDDLE SCHOOL! The magical three years of a learner’s life! My students have a hard time standing still, funny thing is so does their teacher! I would love the opportunity to try this new approach with my special education math learners! Allowing them the opportunity to sit, stand, or do both in our classroom setting while still staying focused on their daily learning and keeping their enthusiasm at the same time. We have seen the success with our current standing desks, but we need more flexible setting. Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use some sort of standing desk. The standing desk and Learn fit is a great option that will give my learners a change of pace from a traditional classroom setting!
