them as an option or more frequently as part of silent reading, small group intervention, or testing. When students are given weekly benchmarks or tests, for instance, I can easily check in with them one by one without interfering with anyone else’s learning or concentration. Students can also use Privacy Shields to keep their work area more organized to their liking, without risking mixing up supplies or losing any of their belongings. In some cases, desk or tabletop privacy screens allow some students to get their treasured pencils or erasers from their school boxes, set them out in front of their desks, and use them without drawing any attention to themselves. They can also trust that their desktops will be more protected if they need to leave their area, such as to go to the bathroom or even outside the classroom. Privacy Shields are durable easy to use and store, making them ideal for student and teacher use.
