How is the classroom set up? Are the desks in rows or groups? Do the students seem engaged in the material from the way that the classroom looks?

As teachers we need to observe our students. We must observe the interaction they have with one another and the interaction they have with us. As a role model for these students we must be the best person we can be. We must be professional, have respect, be punctual, do our job to the best of our ability, etc.
