  • The teacher’s impact on a specific student, class, or the community is clearly articulated with supporting examples.

  • Details on how an upgraded classroom would impact student learning, participation, and generally affect the students utilizing it.

“We’re thrilled to announce the Dream Classroom Giveaway with the support of our industry partners who are true leaders in Education furniture design and manufacturing,” said Margaret Lawrence, Vice President, Wayfair Professional. “We look forward to recognizing a group of exceptional teachers for their hard work and for inspiring their students and the broader community. Updating these classrooms with everything from collaborative spaces to flex-seating and functional storage is a small way for us to say thank you to teachers for the incredible work they do every day.”

Wayfair will contact the five winners of the Dream Classroom Giveaway by Monday, May 6, 2019. Classrooms will be updated over the summer in time for Back to School and publicly announced during that time frame.
