The Ultimate Guide to School Furniture

Worthington Direct is your trusted resource for school furniture to create innovative and engaging learning environments that inspire and empower both educators and learners. From understanding the importance of classroom furniture in education to uncovering the latest trends in design, we have your entire campus covered.

Types of School Furniture

In the modern educational landscape, the role of school furniture has transformed dramatically. With the rise of Collaborative Learning, classrooms are no longer static spaces. Instead, they've evolved into dynamic environments that cater to various learning styles. Whether you're seeking collaborative tables for team-based projects or flexible seating options like bean bag chairs and wobble stools for student comfort, our wide range of furniture suits every classroom's unique needs. We also offer specialized furniture for science labs, makerspaces, and tech classes, ensuring that all aspects of educational development are supported.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Furniture for Your Classroom

When selecting furniture for your classroom, mobility is key. In the era of Collaborative Learning, furniture should facilitate easy reconfiguration to accommodate different learning activities. Look for options with optional casters for desks and tables, enabling effortless movement. Storage solutions are equally crucial, especially for group projects. Cabinets that organize materials for each group streamline the process and promote a focused learning environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is classroom furniture important in education.

Classroom furniture plays a pivotal role in fostering effective learning. With the shift towards student-centered Collaborative Learning, furniture must empower active participation. It aligns with the curriculum's emphasis on problem-solving and project-based learning. By promoting interaction, diverse perspectives, and the development of critical thinking skills, the right furniture enhances students' educational journey.

What are the Latest Trends in Classroom Furniture Design and Layout?

Innovative classroom furniture design emphasizes flexibility and adaptability. The 21st Century Classroom seamlessly integrates analog and digital tools, supporting both passive and active learning approaches. Visual presentation technology enhances engagement, while connectivity ensures students can access resources using their devices. By embracing these trends, educators create dynamic spaces that cater to various teaching methodologies.

BASE POINTS : Based on your Status Level, you will receive a designated number of Points for every $1 of QNS. Some exclusions apply and certain products and services do not qualify to earn Points. Excluded products or services will be identified in store or in the product description online. You are responsible for reviewing all applicable product or service descriptions and promotional materials to determine whether a purchase is qualified to earn Points.

            VIP Members will receive three (3) Points for each $1 of QNS; and

            VIP Gold Members will receive four (4) Points for each $1 of QNS.

The QNS is calculated based on the purchase amount for qualifying purchases after all returns, refunds, credits, discounts, coupons, taxes, shipping, redeemed Lakeshore Bucks or Lakeshore Gift Cards, and Lakeshore Gift Card purchases have been deducted from the purchase amount, rounded up to the nearest dollar.

Points received for items that are returned will be deducted from your Points balance. If any deduction puts your Program account into a negative Points balance, you will not be eligible to receive Lakeshore Bucks.

It can take up to two (2) business days from the date of a purchase, return, or other transaction involving Points for your updated Points balance to be reflected in your account.

BONUS POINTS:  From time to time, Lakeshore will offer the opportunity to earn bonus Points. The promotional materials may identify additional qualifying events, exclusions, and restrictions. Certain products may be excluded and/or limit promotional bonus Points opportunities. Generally, you will be notified of any bonus Point promotions by email.

INTERACTION POINTS : Points can be earned for a variety of non-transaction interactions you participate in. For example:

EXPIRATION:  If there are no Points earned on your account for at least twelve (12) months, all Points in your account will expire on the date that is twelve (12) months from the last date on which you earned any Points.

Earn Lakeshore Bucks

Upon reaching certain Point accumulation thresholds, you will be eligible to convert your Points into Lakeshore Bucks. Lakeshore Bucks can be used to obtain an enumerated discount on qualifying purchases at Lakeshore Locations.

LAKESHORE BUCKS:  Points may be converted to Lakeshore Bucks in $5 increments starting at 500 Points, which can be converted to $5 Lakeshore Bucks (1,000 Points converted to $10 Lakeshore Bucks, 2,000 Points converted to $20 Lakeshore Bucks). The threshold number of Points for conversion to Lakeshore Bucks and the timing of the conversion of Points to Lakeshore Bucks may vary from time to time, at Lakeshore’s sole discretion. Lakeshore Bucks may be combined with each other and with available valid coupons and promotions offers. In order to convert Points to Lakeshore Bucks, you must log in to your Lakeshore account and convert the applicable Points. 

BONUS LAKESHORE BUCKS:  From time to time, Lakeshore may offer the opportunity to earn Bonus Lakeshore Bucks, which may have exclusions and restrictions as outlined in the applicable promotional materials. Generally, Lakeshore will notify you of any Bonus Lakeshore Bucks promotions via the email address associated with your Program account.

REDEEMING LAKESHORE BUCKS: When you redeem Lakeshore Bucks to purchase a qualifying product or service, the value of the Lakeshore Bucks will be applied against the total purchase price, including applicable taxes and shipping fees, if any. Lakeshore Bucks may not be used as payment on a Lakeshore business or organizational account or to purchase Lakeshore Gift Cards. The full value of your Lakeshore Bucks must be used in one transaction; any unused value is forfeited. Lakeshore Bucks cannot be split, and no change is returned to your account for any unused value. To use Lakeshore Bucks on a qualifying purchase, you must self-identify as a Program member during checkout in store and let the associate know that you want to use Lakeshore Bucks for the transaction, or check out online when logged in to your Program account and select the Lakeshore Bucks that you want to use. Lakeshore Bucks cannot be applied to any previous purchases.

RETURNS: If you return any products or services that were purchased with Lakeshore Bucks, you will not receive any replacement Lakeshore Bucks or cash credit for the Lakeshore Bucks that were used during the original purchase.

EXPIRATION: Lakeshore Bucks expire thirty (30) days from the date of conversion from Points to Lakeshore Bucks. Bonus Lakeshore Bucks expire on the date specified in the promotional materials. You can determine when any Lakeshore Bucks or Bonus Lakeshore Bucks expire by checking your Program account.

No Cash Value

Points and Lakeshore Bucks have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash or credit. You have no ownership interest in the Program, Points, or Lakeshore Bucks, and they do not constitute property. The use of the word “earn” or similar language in marketing materials in relation to the Program does not imply that the Points or Lakeshore Bucks have any value. Points and Lakeshore Bucks may not be purchased or sold and are not transferable except as otherwise stated here.

Additional Program Benefits

You are eligible for certain Program benefits based on your Status Level. These benefits must be used in the Anniversary Year in which they are awarded, and any unused benefits will be forfeited at 11:59 pm, PT, on the last day of the Anniversary Year in which they were awarded. At the beginning of the next Anniversary Year, the available benefits will be renewed based on the Status Level achieved at the end of the previous membership year. If you advance to the VIP Gold Status Level during that year, you will be entitled to the benefits for the VIP Gold Status Level. You are only eligible for one Birthday Gift or one Special Event Gift (we will select the gift at our discretion) in an Anniversary Year, regardless of whether or not you advance in Status Level or become or cease being a teacher during that year.

These additional annual benefits are as outlined here:

Standard Shipping Benefit

VIP Members will receive standard ground shipping on qualifying purchases at $6.99 for orders shipped to a single address in the contiguous United States (i.e., excluding Hawaii and Alaska). The benefit does not apply to shipping-restricted items as indicated on lakeshorelearning.com (e.g., furniture, paint, large/heavy items, etc.).

VIP Gold Members will receive standard ground shipping on qualifying purchases at $4.99 for orders shipped to a single address in the contiguous United States (i.e., excluding Hawaii and Alaska). The benefit does not apply to shipping-restricted items as indicated on lakeshorelearning.com (e.g., furniture, paint, large/heavy items, etc.).

The standard shipping benefit is not valid on international shipping or shipping-restricted items. You must check out with a valid Lakeshore Program account to receive the standard shipping benefit. The standard shipping benefit has no cash value. Purchases made before you became a Program member or while you were not logged in to your Program account are not eligible for the standard shipping benefit.

Additional Terms of Participation

General Provisions

These Program Terms supersede all previous terms and conditions applicable to the Program. All Program benefits, offers, rewards, and services are subject to availability and change. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited or limited by applicable laws, Lakeshore may at any time amend, modify, supplement, or terminate the Program, these Program Terms, the structure for earning Points or Lakeshore Bucks, or advancing Status Level(s), even though such changes may affect the value of Points, or the ability to obtain certain benefits or Points, or to redeem Lakeshore Bucks. If the Program is terminated, all unredeemed benefits will be forfeited without any obligation or liability and will not be honored upon termination or after the conclusion of the notice period, if any. In all matters relating to the administration of the Program, the decisions of Lakeshore will be final. 

We reserve the right to cancel or suspend your participation in the Program in the event of fraud, abuse of privileges or the Program, violation of these Program Terms or any applicable laws, or at our discretion for any reason or no reason at all. Any Points or Lakeshore Bucks in your account will become void at the time of cancellation. We may revoke some or all of your Lakeshore Bucks if we determine that you received Lakeshore Bucks due to an error, through fraud or deception, or in any manner not authorized.

The Program is not available and is void where prohibited by federal, state, or local law or regulation.

Other terms and conditions may apply to the Program, the Points, and/or Lakeshore Bucks. It is your responsibility to read all applicable promotional materials.

You are responsible for any tax liability related to your participation in the Program, use of Points, or redemption of Lakeshore Bucks.

Personal information that you provide to Lakeshore in connection with the Program will be handled in accordance with Lakeshore’s Privacy Policy, available at  www.lakeshorelearning.com/about/privacy-policy . When you enroll in the Program and provide us your email address, you are opting in to receive marketing emails from us. You may change your marketing email preferences at any time by clicking on the link found at the bottom of our marketing emails. You will, however, continue to receive transactional messages from us regarding the Program.

Severability

If any provision of these Program Terms or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of these Program Terms and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected. To the fullest extent possible, the court finding any provision invalid, illegal, or unenforceable shall modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all persons or entities and to give the maximum possible protection to persons subject to indemnification within the bounds of validity, legality, and enforceability.

Lakeshore’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict compliance with any provision of these Program Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right and will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future. Nothing in these Program Terms will limit Lakeshore from exercising any legal rights or remedies that it may have.

The headings for each of these Program Terms are for convenience of reference only. Such headings shall be ignored in the interpretation or construction of any of these Program Terms.

Complete Understanding

These Program Terms and the Privacy Policy referenced herein constitute the entire understanding between you and Lakeshore with respect to the Program.

Errors or Inconsistencies

Despite our best efforts to ensure accuracy, errors occasionally occur. We reserve the right to correct such errors at any time even if it affects pending benefits, rewards, Points, or Lakeshore Bucks in your account. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the Program Terms or other statements contained in any related materials or advertising, the terms of the then-current Program Terms shall prevail, govern, and control.

Disputes over Account Control

If there is a dispute regarding control of an account, the person controlling the account will be deemed to be the natural person who is assigned to the email address and/or phone number associated with the account based upon the records of a phone company, an Internet provider, an online service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses or phone numbers, subject to Lakeshore’s sole discretion (although it has no responsibility to do so) to conclude that fraud or other deceptive activity occurred in relation to the account and to take any steps it deems appropriate at its sole discretion (but without any obligation).

Cancellation of Membership

You must maintain an active Program membership to earn and retain Points. You may opt out of the Program at any time and close your account by contacting our Customer Service department. Deciding to close your account is final and will result in a deletion of all accrued Points and/or Lakeshore Bucks, which cannot be recovered once you decide to delete your account.

Limitations of Liability and Damages

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, THE PROGRAM AND ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. LAKESHORE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THOSE ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER LAKESHORE NOR ITS AFFILIATED OR RELATED ENTITIES OR ITS VENDORS OR CONTENT PROVIDERS SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT LOSS, DAMAGE (WHETHER ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR OTHERWISE), INJURY, CLAIM, OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER BASED UPON OR RESULTING FROM YOUR PARTICIPATION IN OR INABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM.

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD LAKESHORE AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DISTRIBUTORS, VENDORS, AND AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF YOUR BREACH OF ANY OF THESE LAKESHORE REWARDS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

If any part of these warranty disclaimers or limitations of liability is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason or if we are otherwise found to be liable to you in any manner, then our aggregate liability for all claims under such circumstances shall not exceed ten dollars ($10). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for damages. Accordingly, some of the above indemnities, limitations, and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent we may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any warranty or limit our liability, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of our liability will be the minimum permitted under such law.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Program Terms, including in connection with a merger, an acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law.

These Program Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of law provisions.

Latinos found jobs and cheap housing in a Pennsylvania city but political power has proven elusive

HAZLETON, Pa. – Latinos seeking jobs and affordable housing have transformed Hazleton, Pennsylvania, in recent decades, but a federal lawsuit argues the way representatives are elected to their local school board is unfairly shutting them out of power.

Nearly two-thirds of students in the Hazleton Area School District are Hispanic, but no Hispanic person has ever been elected to its school board, prompting the court challenge claiming non-Hispanic white voters have employed the district's “at-large” election system to keep things that way.

Two mothers of children enrolled in the anthracite coal region district sued in February, asking for changes to a system they argue dilutes their voting strength and violates the federal Voting Rights Act and the constitutional right to equal protection of the law.

The district's 78,000 residents are about 55% white, 40% Hispanic and 5% Black, Asian or multi-racial, according to the lawsuit, with Hispanics concentrated around Hazleton. Hazleton is among several smaller cities in eastern Pennsylvania where Latino populations have grown large enough to have significant impacts on elections, including this year's hotly contested races for president and U.S. Senate.

The Hazleton board has shown “a significant lack of responsiveness” to the needs of the district’s Hispanic residents, the plaintiffs argued in the lawsuit.

“This includes, but is not limited to, disregard for serious concerns relating to disparate student discipline, student registration procedures founded on unfair stereotypes, inadequate school staffing, lack of qualified translators and lack of effective communication with parents,” according to the lawsuit.

The district requires three separate proofs of address to establish residency from those seeking to be registered for school. A bilingual sign to that effect is posted at the entrance to the administration building, with “must have three” underlined and “no exceptions!” added in handwriting.

Latino leaders say such proofs can be a challenge to produce for those who are new to the country and may lack stable living arrangements. Some say school translators are overworked and understaffed. And there is a feeling that students without strong English skills can be subject to harsher disciplinary treatment.

“We are in an area that is very conservative,” said Vianney Castro, a native of the Dominican Republican and a Democrat who lost November's mayoral election in Hazleton by about 25 percentage points. “They have refused to change. And everything that is happening around us is change.”

Tony Bonomo, president of the Hazleton Area School Board, said electing voters by region may be more fair, but he and the other incumbent board members are not likely to initiate such a change.

“I do think we’re probably close to having that happen,” said Bonomo, a seven-term Democrat. “You almost have to. When you you have a district that is 60% Latino or whatever, something has to happen.”

In seeking dismissal of the case last month, the school district's lawyer argued the two plaintiffs are not entitled to sue under the Voting Rights Act and that voters are divided more by partisan political affiliation than by race and ethnicity.

“Plaintiffs fail to allege with any credible specificity that the claimed Hispanic group of voters is politically cohesive or that the White majority votes sufficiently as a bloc to enable it usually to defeat the minority’s preferred candidate — both assumptions flatly refuted by the reality of the partisan demographics of Hazleton,” the board’s lawyer wrote.

The nine members of the all-white school board are elected in the district as a whole, an at-large election system the board adopted in 1989 amid policy disputes over spending. Previously, board members were elected from smaller regions within the district.

The Pennsylvania State Education Association says 310 of the state’s 500 school boards, like Hazleton Area, have boards elected entirely at-large, 175 elected from regions within the overall district and 15 using a hybrid system.

The Hazleton Area School Board filled vacancies with non-Hispanics twice in recent years, the Hazleton Standard-Speaker reported in February.

The Bethlehem Area School District settled a similar federal lawsuit in 2008 prompted by a decision to sidestep two Hispanic candidates and appoint a white man to fill a vacancy. Under that settlement, Bethlehem, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Hazleton, created three geographic seats but continues to elect the other six members at-large.

The influx of new residents has long been a topic of conflict in Hazleton. The City Council approved the Illegal Immigration Relief Act in July 2006, seeking to deny business permits to companies that employ people who are living in the country illegally, fine landlords who rent to them and require tenants to register and pay for a rental permit. A federal judge struck down the ordinance.

The state's booming Latino population is experiencing growing pains as it works to translate raw numbers in political power, said state Rep. Manny Guzman, a Democrat from Reading and vice chair of the Pennsylvania Legislative Latino Caucus.

“We need to do a better job of turning out our voters and building a bench within these respective areas,” Guzman said.

The U.S. Justice Department earlier this month filed a document supporting the ability of private plaintiffs, such as the two women who are suing the Hazleton district, to bring such challenges under the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
