My students love group work, one on one conferencing, and at risk intervention time with their teachers. My students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and various countries. They work hard and love learning. This group table will give me the opportunity to provide a small area where kids can receive the learning they need.
We want to get rid of my old fashioned teacher desk and get a group table we can use for small group work, one on one conferences, at risk interventions and a safe space to work.
We hope to be able to extend our creativity and journey into learning with a new kidney table and flexible seating!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
