2. Classroom management is a term teachers use to
describe the process of ensuring that the
classroom lessons run smoothly without disruptive
behavior from students compromising the delivery
of instruction.

Take care of yourself to the take care of the
students.
Focus on building relationships.
Willingness of the teacher to accept
responsibility.
Long term, solution driven approach to solve
a problem.

6. Planning : How to achieve desired goal.
Organization: Rules and procedures should
be aligned with teaching strategies.
Communication: It should be affective.
Motivation: Create a learning environment
that encourage social interaction.
Monitoring: Monitor the activities.
7. Every teacher likes to arrange their classroom layout
for the largest student benefit. Students need to
focus and see what is going on in the classroom at
any given time. Their seating arrangement can help
or hinder a students learning.
By simply rearranging how the desks in the room are
setup, you can not only get better control of your
class but create an open and friendly classroom
environment.
8. There are generally three overall classroom
desk arrangement layouts with slight variations
to each to accommodate different size rooms,
number of students in the class and also assist
in the classes function:
Traditional Classroom (Large or Small)
U-Shaped Layout
Circle or Half Circle Arrangements
9. In a traditional class all the desks are facing the chalkboard and
teachers desk. This classroom layout is very effective if your lesson
often uses projectors, slides and a chalkboard.
10. For smaller classes that want more
interaction between the student
and educator, a U-Shaped layout is
a better option. A U-Shaped desk
arrangement encourages
discussion and makes it easy for
the teacher to observe students
and provide one on one help.
11. Desks or tables in a circle or half-circle promote
community and encourage all students to participate.
Everyone sits in the front row! Desks or tables in small
groups work especially well for classes that include
collaborative activities.
12. Using more well-considered seating arrangements can improve
students behavior and learning. It can thus be concluded that
teachers need to become more conscious about seating
arrangements as an important part of classroom management.
Teachers need to be informed about the possibly preventive
and intervening effects of a seating arrangement on students’
academic and social behaviors. It can be a helpful tool for
teachers, who have the difficult task to place all students in the
classroom. In addition, it can help teachers in achieving the
goals they have to achieve within their education nowadays.
