The physical arrangement of the classroom is an important component of effective classroom management. What are some considerations for designing the environment? Arranging activity-based centers in less distracting parts of the room can minimize problems. For example, in elementary classrooms, the reading, writing, and listening centers could be placed next to one another, assuming that students are using headphones in the listening center. The art center, however, should be placed away from students’ seats and quieter centers. At the secondary level, instructional supplies and materials for students could be stored away from students’ desks. Computers can be arranged in another section of the room.
