Classroom-Traditional arrangement

Traditional desk arrangement
The physical arrangement of desks in a classroom can have a significant effect on student behavior. This slideshow depicts four classroom arrangements and explains the merits of each. In the traditional arrangement, desks are in straight rows facing the front of the classroom where the teacher typically stands or sits, making the best use of classroom space. Here, students cannot all see the faces of their classmates nor can the teacher see all of their faces.
