The classroom arrangement..k6educators.about.,com/od/classroomorganization
I have found that the important thing in classroom arrangement is having the desks arranged in an orderly fashion. The way a teacher set up his or her classroom and the way they have the desks arranged say a lot to the children and parents. It says what you want to accomplish in your classroom. The way the teacher set up the desk in their classroom helps with discipline problems.
*The traditional row is where children are in rows facing the board at all times but the drawback from that is it is difficult for small group time.
*Cooperative clusters is good for small groups. The children will engage in small group time all day if that is what the teacher prefers. The teacher would set the desks in 4 or 5 in a cooperative cluster.
I liked the information that was presented in some of the articles but unless I stumbled upon an article through google I doubt I would spend alot of time searching through this site for tips because of the amount of information to navigate through.
