Observation of Classroom Setup
T
Reflection:
This classroom setup is very familiar to me as a teacher candidate, but very unlike what I was used to as an elementary student myself. As an elementary student we were seated in desks in rows. In this modern setup students are sitting together in an environment where they are encouraged to work together. Their desks are arranged with the Smartboard placed front and center. A favorite of mine is the teacher led group table. It allows the teacher to sit in the center, with students around him or her. I think this is a valuable tool to lead group work. Overall, I really enjoy the class setup. I love the open space and the neat arrangement.
