As an education candidate, I understand the importance of organizing physical space in a safe and accessible way. Within my classroom, storage bins are labeled with names and pictures of the items they hold so that students of all developmental levels know where to find things and put them back. We also use bouncy seats, wobble seats, and chair bands to accommodate students of all different special needs to ensure that learning is accessible for all. We have made effective use of physical resources including technology areas by creating station areas within the room where specific things are stored. This allows students to have a specific area to work in when they are in a certain group throughout the day. For example, when students are in a math group where they work on their iReady math or Xtramath on their iPads, they are sitting at the iPad charging station in the back of the classroom. This ensures that the physical arrangement is appropriate to the learning activities at hand. Students also get to choose what kind of seat they sit in, where they work, or if they would like to stand or sit in the floor for certain activities. This allows students to contribute to the use or adaptation of the physical environment to advance learning. This also follows along with the research of Carol Ann Tomlinson in her book, "differentiation within a mixed-ability classroom". Within this book, she discusses how this addition to differentiation within a classroom is low prep, yet can make a massive difference for some students. I feel as though all students should be comfortable in the environment they are learning in, because it is not just the space of the teacher but also the space of the learner. As a child I believe that flexible seating would have greatly benefited me, so I plan to ensure my students will be successful because of research-based decisions that I make as their educator.
