My students are hard working, driven, deep-thinkers who have a passion for in-depth conversation. They see the world not only as it is, but also for what it could be. They think outside of the box and have a thirst for learning. My students see the world as bigger than themselves and seek to change it for the better. This next generation of thinkers and doers is sure to inspire. My students and their passion make my job worth doing.
My Project
My students will be able to take their learning to new heights with standing desks and stools. Studies have shown that students are more productive when they are standing up rather than sitting down. Gone will be the days of tired, fidgety students; here are the days of more productivity, education, and exploration. Standing up allows blood to move more freely through my students' bodies, causing them to be more alert during this crucial time in their educational life. My students crave activity and movement and these standing desks will allow them freedom to move around while not causing a distraction, breaking up their day at school and making them excited to learn in a new way.
