Classroom Seating Chart
A classroom seating chart is a useful tool for planning the seating arrangement of a class before the beginning of a lesson or course. Student seating charts allow teachers to arrange student desks to tailor to specific educational and activity-related needs. The basic desk arrangements to keep in mind when creating a class seating chart are straight rows, angled rows, U-shape and group seating. Remember that keeping all of the desks completely separate takes up a lot of space and is not conducive to teamwork and group projects. Using premade seating planners helps teachers map out the seating arrangement beforehand without missing all of the key equipment (the teacher’s desk, whiteboard and any shelves or extra storage).
How to Create Your Own Classroom Seating Chart
Thinking about the age group of your students and the types of activities they will partake in during your class beforehand will allow you to use the chart to tailor the seating situation to your specific needs. Map out the desk arrangements and remember to leave space for group activities and your own station. Remember that a well-thought-out classroom seating chart can save floor space, supports cooperative work and ultimately makes studying a more enjoyable time for both you and your students.
