Case: Students not following seating chart When I was in school I was not the best student. In class I would often ignore certain teachers' seating charts and sit with my friends. Most of the time the teachers would not notice or would just not care about it. When I start my teaching I am worried about this happening because I know how much it distracted me from learning so I know how much it would distract my students. How do I make sure my students follow their assigned seating arrangement? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am not a fan of seating charts for many reasons: (1) Making a seating chart already restricts students' choice as soon as they walk into your classroom and may already sour their first impression of you, (2) You may unknowingly put students who don't get along next to each other which could affect their learning within your classroom, and (3) Seating charts work better for specific students who might need special spots in the classroom to allow them to develop their best work (such as seating a hard-of-hearing student near the front of the room so they can hear better or having a student with ADHD sit away from the window to prevent distractions). Students should have a choice in where they sit and only be moved when you are absolutely certain that their choice of seating could potentially affect their grades. |
