Project Title: Vertical Non-Permanent surfaces
Teachers: Megan Paulson and Jill Fuglestad
Schools: All Elementary Schools
Students Impacted: 400 elementary students district-wide grades 2-5
Amount Funded: $2,525
“Thinking Classrooms” are created by using Vertical Non-permanent surfaces as part of a model of teaching that transforms the current system of “sit and get” to a more collaborative system which allows students to be the ones leading discussions, actively problem solving, and collaboratively exploring concepts with small groups of peers. AEF is purchasing Whiteboard sets that will allow students to interact with curriculum in a more engaging way.
