Day 5: Rearrange the Desks: Reposition the Students' Seats to Help Retain their Attention

Arranging student seats is really one of the easiest ways to maintain classroom management. Sometimes I rearrange the student’s seats so that they can work together on assignments. I also let them work in teams. I often group students based on their needs and I have found that by doing this it makes it a lot easier to differentiate my instruction. I am also a firm believer in cooperative learning environments because students seem to be accepted in the social groups and this makes students more comfortable in the classroom. In addition, students learn a lot from one another and often have the “I can do it” attitude.
