Purpose and Benefits
Getting the Most Out of Your Space
Educators and administrators rely on classroom dividers to make the most of their space. Smaller or oddly shaped classrooms and office spaces can quickly be amplified when adding a partition. In the classroom, they can also create smaller areas for more individualized learning. Teachers can use the dividers when paired with our literacy and reading furniture to add a reading or chill-out corner to their space. Teachers who co-teach use classroom dividers to designate teaching and learning areas for both themselves and their students.
Creating a Focused Learning Environment
Classroom dividers help teachers cut down on noise in their classrooms, which helps kids focus and learn better, according to Monash University. The dividers help absorb the sound from the students and other teachers in the room to create a quieter learning space for students. In schools that have high ceilings, they help to cut down on the echo effect in larger spaces such as lunchrooms or band and choir rooms. Classroom dividers can also be used to focus students' attention by removing the visual distractions around them. The dividers create a wall and block out distractions.
Choosing a Classroom Divider for Your Space
Different Sizes and Designs
Classroom dividers come in many different sizes and materials. Choose the style that best suits your classroom and students. From dry erase, frosted acrylic, fire-resistant, or heavy-duty materials, there is a design for all of your needs. The screens range from individual desktop shields to six-foot-tall, large shields.
Accessibility and Safety
Dividers and screens on wheels provide a quick and easy way to create a new space or change up the classroom. These classroom dividers roll from one room to the next with ease. Locking corner casters and locking end casters ensure that wheels stay in place and do not move or rotate. This provides extra stability and ensures the dividers will not move from their place once up unless desired.
