These flexible seating options will give my students the ability to get individual help without feeling singled out from class. There is currently a stigma that students who are doing work outside of their desks need extra or "special" help. With these tables, our room will be a mixture of desks and tables, so there is no visible division between students who are sitting in desks and students who are sitting at tables.
My students have expressed to me that they feel awkward or embarrassed to come up to my teacher desk or have me come to their desk because they feel so singled out. With these tables in place in our classroom, multiple students will be sitting in different seats other than desks, so the students I am working with will not feel uncomfortable working with me at a different desk as well. I will switch up which table I sit at so as to not create another stigma as to which table is getting more help.
