Structure Fosters Engagement

Help me give my students gates to create structural boundaries to keep them safe, engaged, and focused on instructional lessons and activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Coles's classroom raised $407

My Project

These structural boundaries will increase my students' engagement in instructional lessons and activities. My students enjoy working independently on highly structured tasks. I have worked hard to create educational materials that will increase their independence. I would now like to structure the classroom environment to further increase their independence and focus.

By providing my students with these structural boundaries academic instruction can take priority in the classroom which will increase their active participation in lessons resulting in increased academic gains.

My students are very energetic and have impulsive tendencies. These structural boundaries will aid in their ability to independently remain in their spaces to keep them from wandering around and/or eloping from the classroom. It will create a structured and defined workspace for the students to learn to understand their boundaries.
