I'm going to be a teacher in a couple of years so I would like to hear real examples of how teachers effectively layout their classrooms. What are the best arrangements for a class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Kids that age love competition and get really into it. It promotes group learning and it fosters healthy competition. I have found that group seating is better than theater seating because it also allows for students to work collaboratively.
