Aliyah- Should be seating at place B, to minimize her distraction by computers and others.

Oliver- Should be seated at place A to be close to board but also accessible to help out when needed and minimize the amount of people surrounding him.

Paulo- Should be seated at place V because he needs to be close to the door for accessibility.

Abigail- Should be seated in seat D to be able to have easy accessibility to teacher for questions and can be seen easier when she is being talkative.

Elementary Oliver will be in D because he is by the teachers desk and the dry erase board. He also will have more opportunity to not be distracted. Aliyah will be in A because It places her away from the computer and by the teachers desk. Abigail will be in M because she is far enough from distractions an won't have the opportunity to take the attention away from the class. Paulo is going to be placed in V because he is in a wheelchair and is around other students to work well and communicate during group class.

Two reasons Sofia could be drifting off while doing independent activities is that she is sitting at the furthest desk/table from the teacher and is surrounded by multiple people on multiple different sides. If the teacher is to change the seating chart, we recommend that Sofia is moved to either Q or CC since those seats are not surrounded by as many people and is in clear view from the teachers desk.

We suggest that Paulo sits in desk PP because he is in a wheelchair and that seat offers extra space and has no obstacles between the seat and the door. Oliver should sit in seat E because it is close to the dry erase board, demonstration table, and he is not near other students which makes him less likely to be distracted. Aliyah will sit in seat C so she can come out of her shell and take guidance from other students, the teacher will be able to monitor her being on task. This seat is also far from the computer (her main distraction.) Abigail will sit in seat S so she can not monopolize the teachers attention. She is also not near other students so she can't talk to them during learning

We would put Oliver in seat A because that is one of the closest to the white board but it also would be less distracting than seat B. Aliyah-would be put in seat L since she is easily distracted by the computer. Also since she is good at pretending to do her work she should be pretty close up front but she is also shy so we won't put her in the front row. Abigail- would be put in seat J that way she is close to the teacher but not too close to monopolize her. Also since she is strong at reading she might be able to help those around her who are struggling more. Paulo- will be put in seat P that way his seat is always easily accessible when he enters the room.

Sophia: Reason one- her seat is in the back of the room, causing her not to pay attention during whole group demonstration. Reason two- She is behind another group during discussions, which can lead to distractions.

A seat we would suggest Sophia sitting in is seat Q, this is because it is next to the demonstration table, away from students in different groups, and close to the smart board.

Sophia could be seated near the smart board and next to the teacher's desk. She may also need to be placed with other peers who tend to stay on task during class. Sophia should be facing the smart board instead of the windows. It is important for the teacher to check in on Sophia to ensure she is on task and contributing to group discussion.

Oliver: Seat D

He is close to the board in the front of the room and only has one student seated next to him to limit distractions.

Ailyah: Seat A

Is sat far from the classroom computer, and is sat towards the front of the room to ensure she is on task.

Abigail: Seat T

Is sat in the back of the room farther from her teacher, and she sits next to only one person to limit talking.

Paulo: Seat P

Sat close to door for easy accessibility.

One potential reason that Sophia could be off task is due to the fact that she is in the back of the classroom. Another potential reason could be the distance between her and the teacher since she can't see the teacher that great for a demonstration, she is facing toward the wall. Sophia can be moved to seat W to increase her on-task behavior during both whole-group demonstration and small-group demonstration. This location at seat W will help keep her on task and will be able to be watched by the teacher if she needs help when it comes to demonstrations.

Oliver- We think he should be placed in seats A or B or D or E. He will be close to the board, can go up to help the teacher. He will have limited distraction from other students by limiting the number of students he is around.

Aliyah- Seat P, possibly J or H. All the seats have the back of the student toward the computer, which would make sure Aliyah wouldn't get distracted by the computer.

Abigail- She could be placed in the back such as Q . Since she is a stronger reader and won't try to monpolize the teacher's attention as much.

Paulo- We would put him at T because it is more accessible when entering the room, but is still in the middle of his peers.

Emily Beyer & Maddison Tripp

For whole-group instruction, Sophia is most likely having a ton of distractions because she is seated in the back right corner of the classroom and she is facing the window, which sets up for outside distractions. When in small groups, the same distractions would occur since Sophia is seated in the same spot.

As a change of seating, Sophia should be placed more towards the demonstration desk, specifically seat W at the center table in the front. This would minimize classroom and outside distractions and help maintain focus on the content.

Oliver- Should be placed in seat B because he needs to sit in the fount to ensure that he stays on task.

Aliyah- Should be placed in seat A. Also to make sure she is on task but also way for the computer.

Abigail- Should be seated at Q to make sure is away from the teacher.

Paulo- Should be seated at V to make sure he is by the door as well as able to get to his seat easily.

Elementary:

We would place Paulo in seat V, Abigail would be in seat S, Aliyah A, Oliver in E

We selected these specific seating locations using strategic planning according to each individual students needs. For example we chose to put Oliver up front because of his bad eyesight. Aliyah was put up front because she was easily distracted and because she is good at pretending to be on task. Abigail was placed further from the teacher because she has a strong personality and seeks attention. Paulo was placed close to the door because he uses a wheelchair and there was more space for him to maneuver his wheelchair.

trvcc — 2024-04-01 22:35:33 UTC

Oliver- We placed Oliver in seat E because he will be close to the white board, in a seat with limited access to other students, and in a place to easily assist the teacher with tasks.

Aliyah- She is in seat A because it is close to the teacher to monitor her understanding and keep her on task, far away from the computer to reduce the distraction, and close to other students without overwhelming her with other students.

Abigail- She is placed in seat S because she has limited opportunities to interact with other students when she should not be, she is placed far away from the teacher to reduce her behaviors of monopolizing the teacher, and she can be placed in the back because she is a strong reader.

Paulo- He is placed on seat P because he needs an easily accessible seat, that he can easily work in groups at. He can be placed that far back in the classroom because of his love of science.

The seats are also chosen so that the students are far apart from each other so they can interact with their peers.

Effective Room Arrangement: Elementary

coccaromarina12 — 2024-04-01 22:37:19 UTC

Aliyah: I sat Aliyah in seat A because she is distracted easily especially by computers and this seat is the farthest away from the computer. Not only that, but when she does not know what is going on, she pretends she does. This way she is close to the teacher.

Paulo: Because Paulo uses a wheelchair and gets along with other students, I sat him in seat P. I sat him there because it was accessible from the door and he is still near other students.

Abigail: I sat Abigail in seat D because she is talkative and being in front of the teacher, the teacher will be able to minimize that talking.

Oliver: I sat Oliver in seat E because he needs to be close to the dry erase board and enjoys helping the teacher.
