Summary
Structuring a classroom so that it is well organised and easy to move around creates a productive learning environment, encourages student independence, and helps with efficient transitions.
Classroom organisation may involve:
- structuring the physical elements of the classroom, including arranging furniture to create walkways so that students can access materials without disturbing others
- strategically placing and labelling materials and resources, encouraging students to be responsible for putting away materials and maintaining a tidy classroom.
