My Students

My students are special because they go to school in a K-12 school, and I teach them 4 out of their 7 classes. I teach: Math, ELA, Agriculture Science, and STEM. I have the 7th graders for 4 different classes, and the 8th graders for 3 different classes. Due to COVID, they have not had a chance to learn how to change classes, or how to self-regulate their work performance or emotions.

My Project

After COVID-19, my students never learned how to self-regulate while they are working. Middle school is a really important time for them to learn how to stay in their seat, self-monitor that they are on-task and being productive. Currently, my students come to my class multiple times a day, and sitting in the same seats which makes it hard for them to focus, especially after not being in a classroom like this due to the social distancing requirements last year.

I would like to utilize flexible seating to give them an opportunity to move out of their seats in a structured way, to promote self-monitoring as they are able to move around the room and choose what kind of seating will create the best learning environment for them.
