Be the Teacher In order to establish a positive emotional environment in your classroom you must first arrange the room in a manner that will facilitate your long term goals. The physical space is the groundwork for  the type of classroom you run. The Information: You are the teacher of a year 8 class.  The class is relatively small being comprised of 12 students.  Within the class you are aware of students with the following circumstances: Student A - ADHD tendencies, constantly seeking attention and going off task in class. Student B - Identified as having RD, 3 years behind class. Involved in peer-assistance program. Student C - Physical disability and is confined to a wheelchair. Top performing student. Student D - Diagnosed Asperger’s. Only likes to sit next to student B. Student E - Extremely shy, does not like to work in groups, exhibits poor task management skills. The Task: You have three options for your classroom arrangement: rows, groups or u-shape.  Decide which arrangement would best suit this class.  Discuss your reasoning as a group.
