This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to be responsible for their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During collaboration and independent work times students choose a location in the classroom where they can work productively. Currently, my students have only a few places for their choices, which include a table, a chair, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating and able to move/stand as they think. They almost always make good choices about where they are working, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
Students are noticeably more engaged in their work and more comfortable when working.
They are less disruptive and more productive.
The product that I have selected will help my students by giving them an additional option to make more effective learning choices. The standing desk will allow students to stand at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. This will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to stand or move to think. A standing desk/work area provides a space for students to work independently or collaboratively resulting in positive work outcomes.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and the culture of the classroom and hope that the additional option will contribute to their growing success.
