Why Is Classroom Set-Up Important?
When we talk about classroom setup, we aren't just talking about your classroom decorating decisions — although they're important too. We're talking about everything from how you decide to situate your students' seats (flexible seating? u-shapes?) to whether you opt for a teacher desk or a podium.
Being thoughtful about your classroom set-up will help you get ahead of the game on classroom management and prepare both you and your students for success.
The goal of an effective classroom set-up is really to create a sense of order for your students and an environment that is conducive to learning. You want your students to know where to sit, where to find that bathroom pass, where to drop their homework off in the morning, and so on.
You also want them to have everything they need for lessons exactly where they can find it — whether it’s your manipulatives for math lessons or those clipboards for ELA centers. With that will come a classroom that’s easier to manage in the long run, and honestly the decorating can come later.
