I’m starting at a new school as a MS SPED teacher for kids with behavior issues. My background is early childhood & elementary, but they just switched me to teaching 5th-8th graders. 8 kids, and they all have 1-on-1 support from a para.

It’s a brand new classroom with zero furniture or supplies. The curriculum will be theme-based and project-based.

My boss just asked me to come up with a list of furniture, decor, and supplies that I want so they can get everything before the start of the school year. Because I’ve never taught this age, I don’t even know where to begin. All I know is that traditional desks aren’t going to be ideal given it’s all ND kids.

What would you ask for if you were me? How would you design your perfect classroom?
