Through our Teacher Innovation Grants, elementary school students across the district now have a variety of seating alternatives to meet their learning and sensory needs. Research has shown that providing flexible seating options in the classroom improves focus, reduces disruptive behavior and increases productivity. These Clairemont Elementary students are just three of many who can now choose how and where they complete their independent work.
