CLASSROOM

ORGANISATION
WHAT IS CLASSROOM ORGANISATION?
• Classroom organisation focuses
on the physical environment.
• Effective teachers provide a
safe classroom environment.
• Teachers strategically place
furniture, learning centres, and
materials to optimise student
learning and reduce
distractions.
Why is an organized classroom important?

• Organisation in the classroom is


crucial for teachers to stay on
top of planning and pursue their
goals.
• Systems need to be in place to
handle paperwork and return
papers to students promptly.
How does classroom organization affect learning?

• An organised classroom informs students


of their assignments and expectations.
• Provides a structured routine for lessons
and helps students manage their
learning.
What are the three basic areas of classroom
management?
Classroom management focuses
on three main components:

▪ Content management
▪ Behaviour management
▪ Management of agreements

Runway
This set-up is best for smaller
classes and puts the emphasis on
the teacher. The teacher uses the
runway between the two rows of
tables facing each other to lead
the class. This arrangement is
great for discussions and lectures.

Stadion
A variation on the classical
row arrangement and
runway. The tables are
grouped together, but all face
the same direction. Like the
runway, this arrangement is
best for teacher-centred
classes.

Combination
This configuration is ideal for
classes with students with
different learning levels, learning
styles and behavioural problems.
You can combine each
configuration to best suit your
needs and the abilities of your
students. For example, set up part
of the room as rows for students
who need to focus on individual
work and another part as mini-
horseshoes for students who need
more discussion-oriented
activities.
Conclusion

Each classroom, teacher, student, and situation is unique.


Ingenuity and creativity are required to find the best seating
arrangement.
