A good classroom seating arrangement is the

cheapest form of classroom management.

– Fred Jones



Classroom Management Tips • Classroom Arrangement • Students should be seated where their

attention is directed toward the teacher • High traffic area should be free from

congestion • Students should be able to clearly see chalk

board, screens, and teacher.• Students should be seated facing the front of

the room and away from the windows.• Classroom arrangements should be flexible to

accommodate a variety of teaching activities.
