Effective classroom layout

The way that seating is arranged in a classroom has an effect on how children are learning. An effective classroom layout encourages pupils to focus and enables them to see what's going on in the classroom at all times. There are many ways to arrange a classroom and these should ideally reflect student needs and the way in which teaching material is being presented.
