Case: Inappropriate Classroom Seating I am interning at a high school this semester and in my learning strategies classes my teacher has the student desks arranged in rows. Of course this is an option included in how one can set up the classroom, but for this specific group of students it does not benefit or support their learning or even the classroom environment. This class definitely does not have a community atmosphere present, as when students are encouraged to work with each other no collaboration takes place. I believe the seating needs to be changed, as it would promote involvement of the students. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Depending on the relationship with your CT, you could suggest a change in the classroom layout, and explain the reasons why you are suggesting the change. However, if the relationship is not that great, or the CT is not comfortable with change, as others have suggested, asking questions about why the CT has set the room up the way they did, might help create the changes that you desire. In the end though, it is not your classroom but theirs and if they are unwilling to move the desks, just file it away as something you will do in your future classroom. Sometimes learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. |
