Classroom Arrangement

For Accomplished Teaching,

there is no limit to effective ways to arrange a classroom, and it is very difficult to copy another teacher's ideas unless the teachers have the same exact materials and room layout.  Teachers should not feel like there is one certain right way.  The process of arranging a classroom is intuitively related to each teacher's own creativity and knowing that it will be changed many times while they adjust things for their students needs. While setting up a classroom, it is important to decide how it will be divided.  Personally, I love a center based classroom.  Mine is divided into different subject areas such as:  Science, Math, Reading/Library, Manipulative activities, and Art among several others.
