I am a first year United States History (General Education and Special Education) and AP United States History teacher in a high-need and low-income high school. I have stayed away from the "boring" lectures and worksheets style of teaching social studies and now focus on collaborative project based learning activities, product driven instruction and student-centered research activities. The round table and stools will be placed in my classroom and used during instruction.
The current seating that we have in our classroom is outdated, difficult to maneuver, and makes it difficult for the students to contribute collaboratively to group assignments and research. I hope to have round tables that force students to interact with one another, and provide a more conducive atmosphere to my students producing results with one another. My school is Title I and receives funds for our students, but furniture is not included in this.
21st century learning skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and producing results are imperative for this marginalized population to learn. I work hard to provide my students with skills that they can use outside of history, that prepare them for post-secondary education as well as being a productive citizen in any work place setting.
