Chapter 6 : Classroom Management & Strategies (Chapter 8)

After deciding how you want to teach, it is time to set the classroom up !
In order for a teacher to set up their classrooms, there are measures to be considered before setting it up. Things to take into account is :

a) Physical Aspects
b) Social and Emotional Aspects
c) Technicality or Tech Resources

Physical Aspect 

The physical of a classroom relates with space, furniture and also the well being of the class. The class needs to be spacious and can accommodate number of students accordingly. Besides that, how the furniture is lined up too needs to be considered as it can give a sight of discomfort for the students and will effect their learning process as it is a disturbance. Besides that, a classroom too needs to be safe. Safe meaning that all doors, windows, whiteboard and etc are installed properly and are not a hazard. A door might have a small chip, but it can harm students in a way that we can't possibly imagine.

Social and Emotional Aspect

Placement of students plays a huge role in the socializing area. A good classroom is where children are mixed in terms of race, religion and ethnicity to avoid bias circles. However, accommodations needs to be met when a student is in need. Lets say that in a class of tall students, there are 3 small and relatively short in height students present in the class, the smaller ones will need to be placed upfront so that frustration of not being able to see does not induce. Besides that, by decorating the class with bright colours too can uplift the emotion of the class.

Technicality / Tech Resources

If the class needs visual aids, or tech support, a teacher should be able to provide if there are any tech support or materials provided by the school. Living the 21st Century, technology is also used widely in education that helps children to adapt in attaining knowledge as well as getting them. Accommodations should be provided as and when it is suitable. The most common Tech for class use are :
i) Speakers
ii) Projector
iii) Projector Screen
iv) VGA/HDMI Cables
