My experience with this Floor Plan: While working for Club Scientific Dallas, I was able to arrange my classroom however I wanted, as long as it fit all of my students. Before coming to the conclusion that I like the U shape, I tried many different things including, but not limited to round tables, groups of four facing each other, and rows of desks. The issue I faced with all of those floor plans was that I was not able to see everyone at all times. I noticed that when I was not able to make eye contact with a student, they were much less likely to be on task and listening. When I was working with students in a U shape I was able to get to everyone's desk in a swift manner, and didn't have to worry about bumping into people. It was also very easy for students to come and grab materials whenever they needed them off the desk in the middle! |
