My Students

My students attend a Title I public school. Even though they do not have a lot of money or come from the best neighborhoods, they are amazing at troubleshooting and making the best out of everything they set out to accomplish.

The students are hungry for more in the way of hands-on learning in a professional recording studio environment.

I want to offer them the best education possible to become trendsetters in the ever-changing world of A/V Production.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works best for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room, such as different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or lying on the floor with a laptop. 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.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when given a choice of where to work with comfortable seating.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The office chairs on wheels swivel and are adjustable and will allow students to sit at a desk/higher tables but still allow some movement. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will enhance their creativity even more! The chairs are wonderful and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
