Teaching Tip #11

Desks Don't Have to Be In Rows

Again, desks can be in groups if that works best.

You can also do a semi-circle, a semi-circle with groups, a "checkerboard" pattern, etc.  Unfortunately, the rooms I've taught in have been too small to do anything but rows.  Rooms I've student taught in were a bit more flexible, but the last one had a few classes where there were so many students they took up the entire room.

No matter what the situation, be a bit creative - if possible.
