When we walked around the school and looked at what the teacher had the
classroom set up as. We saw
-
Rows
Desks divided in half
Few classrooms were table groups
We noticed that all of the classroom designs are surrounding the teachers. The
desks were set up in a way that all the students could focus on the teacher. But
shouldnt the desks be designed in a way to let students collaborate and not just
focus on the teachers?
If students were able to design their own classroom, the entire class would be
different than what we know a classroom to be today.
-Desks not only will be more comfortable for both the students and the teachers
but the entire classroom would be set up in a way to encourage collaborative
learning between all the students.
-When our classrooms are set up in a newer way the learning from the students
is not all rely on the teachers. Students will be pushed to work together and
learn from each other.
- 21st century learning, if we are trying to encourage the 4 Cs of learning why
arent our classroom designed to help us incorporate these skills? What would
this kind of learning look like?

According to the studies from Jessica L. Bucholz, University of West Georgia and Julie L. Sheffler,
Atlantic University from The Electronic Journal for Inclusive Education, The type of classroom
environment that a teacher creates and encourages can either increase or decrease a students ability
to learn and feel comfortable as a member of the class. The classroom environment should do as much
to foster cooperation and acceptance as the teaching methods that the teacher uses.

The Majority of
Teachers:
Counter Arguments
Putting classrooms into groups would benefit the teacher and the student,
The students and the teachers would learn how to communicate better and
learn from each other.
The students can ask questions to their peers, and the teacher can go to
each group. Also there are more questions asked when the students are in
groups.
How could a teacher get all the students attention if they're all in groups?
-
If the teachers can get a whole class in the traditional layout to focus when
theyre all talking they can get a whole classroom to focus.
Cons
Uncomfortable seating
