Case: How would you physically arrange your classroom to promote student learning?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Arranging the classroom is a very thorough topic. The layout should begin with the floor, which includes the desks, computers, center areas, and any other furniture in your classroom. These things should be set first because there are things, like computer wiring, that is not easy to move. Once these pieces are set, everything else can be worked around it. The desks should be placed in rows for the first day, because you do not know the dynamics of your students to place them in groups. It is also important to place things like pencil sharpeners, paper, and other supplies that students will need access to in a place that is easy to reach and not in a place that will cause distractions. The flow of the classroom should be set in a way that students will not get into trouble. Computer screens should always be visible to the teacher, and all students should be within the teacher's vision at all times. As far as the walls are concerned, bulletin boards are helpful but should not be overwhelming and distracting. Rules should be posted somewhere in the room, and other important information can be displayed at the teacher's discretion. All of these elements will help the teacher to run an effective classroom. |
