INDIVIDUAL WORK STATIONS
The classroom physical set-up generally meets the needs of most students. However, our Tier 2 & 3 students are easily distracted and benefit from having an area that is away from others where it is easier for them to focus and concentrate. Setting up a few individual workstations within classrooms is an asset for students who need to be more secluded, or who need to move when working. This also helps to reduce distractions for other students and helps them remain focussed. For students who have a greater need to move, considering alternate seating options and different types of workstations is also beneficial. This section will share such intervention suggestions, however if there are ongoing struggles in this area a consultation with an Occupational Therapist is recommended.
