My students are from different parts of the Tampa Bay area. They are a diverse set of students. Most are energetic, creative, and eager-to-learn. Every day they arrive before most people are even in the car on the way to work. They love working with partners and in groups. I want my classroom to enable them to be ready for the real world.
Some students have been diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities.
I want to make sure all students have supports to help them achieve the very best.
Students will often tell me that the classroom is different and is the only classroom they wish they could stay in all day.
Students are happy with their school and teachers. Each day they learn something new and come back the next day ready to learn more.
My Project
I want my students to be able to sit at a table small enough to accommodate individual learning styles but can easily be linked together to make a small group.
Students need to learn collaborative skills and having a classroom set up that makes this happen brings us closer to this goal.
Students who work in a professional learning space are able to experience the future of what their own workplace might look like. In my classroom students are at the center of the classroom. To make this work I want my students to be free to create using whiteboard surfaces as the triangle tables come with.
