This page talks about how you deal with the aspect of classroom SPACE, in other words, how you choose to use the space allocated for your teaching area. There are many variables here. Many new teachers must share space, some poor souls have nothing but a wandering cart and go from classroom to classroom. Elementary teachers have different activity centers and types of tables or student desks than secondary teachers. Subject matter makes a difference, too. Research on this subject seems to be limited, although it would seem to be an area of interest to new teachers and teachers interested in maximizing their effectiveness. After all, there's no college course on how to arrange your classroom. Add it to the list of things you'll learn with experience. In part, how you arrange your room depends on what furniture you have at your disposal. Are there individual student desks or long tables? An overhead projector or chalkboard? Teacher's desk and computer desk? Bookshelves? If you don't have what you want ... can you request it or bring it in yourself? Don't be afraid to experiment or use graph paper to "play" with different classroom arrangements. Sit in student desks after arranging your class to get a student's-eye view of the room. Fix anything that becomes distracting or inaccessible from a student's chair. Ideas on using classroom space • Don't be afraid to change it based on your instructional objectives. When we're doing poetry, we turn the desks toward the window and be...

“ I know it has to be around here somewhere”, you mumble while desperately rummaging through your desk, the filing cabinet, the book case, the storage compartments, and the twenty other places you stash things in the classroom. The teacher who asked for the papers is waiting, her foot begins tapping, and apparently something is wrong with her watch as she keeps looking at it and sighing. Yes! You finally remember putting the unit on Clouds and Weather in the filing cabinet but is it filed under “C”, “W” or “M” for meteorology? As you are digging through the files, sweat beads on your upper lip, that one annoying hair escapes from your ponytail and dangles in front of your eyes, and as you furiously flip past papers, you realize you filed it under “S” for sky. This happens more often than you would like to admit. Why? The answer is simple: you are a teacher. Teachers have more paperwork, games, writing implements, paper, books, plans, books on plans, stickers, and arts accessories than two craft stores and a Target combined. [Check out our article on I Can’t Find Anything! Fear not, you are definitely not alone in this quandary. While some people are blessed with the innate knowledge of how to organize their daily events, spice racks, or shoe trees, many of us have to be taught or shown how to do so. While there are many ideas on how to organize, the act of organizing is a very personal endeavor. There is not a “one size fits all” implementation plan for managing classroom ...
