Designing Your Own Classroom


I've had a few people send me comments about the "designing your own classroom" link I sent out via the listserv so i thought I'd start an entry here so you could share your thoughts. Jackie Rehberg said that she routinely thinks about the design of her classroom and how it's physically set up when she plans her lessons and shared the following story about a friend of hers on classroom design:


"One of my friends is a PE teacher. During student teaching his supervising teacher did something interesting. He had a piece of paper and a pen. When Aaron walked around the gym (or room) the professor drew his placement on the paper. Aaron was surprised to see that he'd only visited a portion of the gym, and therefor kids. So on his next visit Aaron was aware of the importance of using the hole gym floor."


If you have a story about how you like your room set up or an experience to share, make a comment below. The web site I shared was: http://classroom.4teachers.org/
