The way you physically set up a middle school classroom can sometimes be conducive to the learning that actually goes on, and effective teachers use classroom management techniques to accomplish just that.
With that in mind, today on TeachHUB.com, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, herself a seasoned educator based in Upstate New York, offers up some classroom management tips for designing your room’s layout to bring about an atmosphere that is tantamount for learning.
Janelle’s tips include:
- Extra Supplies
- A Place to Store Work
- Visuals
- Solitude Space
- And more!
Janelle sums up her article like this: “Your classroom will constantly be changing and evolving. What may have worked for you earlier in the school year, may not work for you now. Your classroom will need some tweaking in order to be effective and efficient, and that’s OK. It’s all a process, and you will eventually find what works for you, and your classroom.”
