Classroom Arrangement and Cooperative Learning
Rationale
Student Productivity
A classroom arrangement like the one provided above will help minimize classroom distractions and maximize classroom time and space for student productivity. This layout of a classroom allows students and teachers to have full visibility of the entire classroom and ample space for circle class time and alternative seating for students. Having the student groups arranged in a horseshoe formation allows for more visibility for the students in the classroom
with enough space between groups for less distraction. This classroom has one bathroom, the classroom door for access to the school, and does not have access to outside from within the classroom. The open area of the horseshoe opens to the front of the classroom facing the whiteboard and smart board where most lessons will be taught to the students but allows students
to rotate in their seats to comfortably see the interactive bulletin boards to work through lessons that involve them. The computers, reading corner, centers, and small group table are located in the back of the classroom with space to spread out but have easy access for all students. Cooperative Learning
This classroom is a Kagan-friendly classroom and is set in groups of four based on that recommendation. This arraignment offers ample space to conduct group activities, partner work, and team-building activities. Students can use the center space to work in small groups while the teacher pulls students to the back small group area for targeted learning based on individual students. The layout of this classroom has organized spaces for centers, computers, and small groups in specific areas of the classroom to encourage teamwork while staying organized with the separation of the groups. This classroom is based on a first-grade level with a clear flow of the classroom while encouraging a safe, positive, and productive environment for all students with easy access to all areas of the classroom.
