I teach at on off-site school to students in grades preschool through third grade. All of my students are English language learners, with English being their third spoken language. The children live and attend school in the same environment. This creates a true sense of community. Many of the students have been with each other since starting language class when they turn five, prior to starting their public education, which takes place an hour before school and an hour after school.
My students are ambitious, curious, and driven to learn.
Their drive creates an infectious learning environment which promotes growth throughout our multi-grade level classroom.
My Project
I am driven to provide a student-centered fluid workspace, which promptes collaborative learning. The ability to have flexible seating will allow me as an instructor to promote student engagement. Due to the fact that my classroom is a multigrade level class, flexible seating helps to meet the physical and unique needs of all ages of my learners.
Flexible aseating engages and empowers while promoting physical health.
Students have choices, based on their individual needs. When students’ needs are meet, a deeper sense of community is built and off-task behaviors decrease. This will allow for movement and a sense of ownership over one’s learning.
