Stand...or Sit and Deliver!

Help me give my students flexible seating, specifically desks that can be used while seated or standing and which can be moved into different formations like small group, u-shaped, or rows.

My Project

Flexible seating helps students feel more comfortable and at ease in the classroom. Some of my students have so much energy they like to fidget while sitting in their seats; other students prefer to stand. Some students like to doodle or work their problems out first before writing in their notebooks.

My special education algebra students are remarkably more engaged and focused when they are comfortable.

This leads to more work completion, less disruptions, and improved academic performance. These desks with a dry erase desktop will also help me greatly in the classroom. Sometimes we need or want to work in small groups and at other times I need to be able to sit in the center of the u-shape to observe everyone at once. During testing, I need to be able to separate the desks into traditional rows. These desks will allow me the flexibility to create different types of classroom layouts.

Please help me get my students desks that will allow them to learn in comfort! Thanks for checking out my project!
