What was effective?
Secondary:
- paired seating for think/pair/share
- turn-in basket in central location
- baskets for past handouts/materials

Elementary:
- small group seating combined with row seating for students who needed more attention
- materials, posters at eye level
- having a turn-in basket near backpack cubbies

What was ineffective/changes needed?
Secondary:
- very crowded, due to paired desks--would have been better as small group desks
- students were all facing teacher, rather than each other--didn't contribute to discussion
- teacher couldn't circulate without tripping over backpacks
-interactive learning limited by crowding

Elementary:
- whole group table at back of room, against a wall, making teacher inaccessible to other students
- materials stocked in too many different places
- no central place for turning in homework

- designated spots for materials, homework, bathroom passes that doesn't distract when students need to use them
- teaching in a place where you can see everyone's face and they can see you
- extra seating in addition to their desks
- neutral walls with student work instead of posters]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469373 garbagecam https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469512 - Centralized location at front of classroom for supplies, pick-up/drop-off of daily materials
- Every student has an elbow partner and a group to belong to.
- One table dedicated to materials from previous days (close to teacher's desk)
- Lab stations around perimeter of room. Can be used as extra workspace
- Number of students in each group (6). Lots of support from classmates, and not large enough for students to blend into the background.

Ineffective:
- Difficult for teacher to move past some locations and students, especially if backpack/materials are out.
- Students in back of classroom might have trouble seeing or hearing the lesson, which was almost always at the front of the classroom.
- Not much personality or color in the classroom.]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469512 hermanrmeier https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469513 Keep Doing:
-Every student could see the board and teacher could easily see faces of students
-Students could easily share with others.
-Mostly easy to meet with students at their desk

Do Differently:
-Spaces for students to do work by themselves/group not as desks
-Better accessibility for classroom resources
-Smaller groups so students can all have a voice]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469513 catherinelindner8 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469535 - have an area where students can get missing work, turn in work, get materials, and bathroom passes by the door and easily accessible. 
-Groups where they can collaborate but also can see the board, space for me to walk around and see everyone's work 
- collaborated poster and bulletin boards so that it is not cluttered and can be personal to "get to know me" and possible stir up conversation
-still a bit confused on how to do this but place for backpacks, so that they can stay focus but also have their materials close by and safe. BUT would love to have an area for safe backpack placement.]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469535 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469613 Eric Emsky- Grade 4
Effective: 
-Students easily grouped
- Students have space for safety, yet are also close enough for easy conversation for inter-student connection and idea sharing
- Teacher's desk with document camera ( a main area for instruction_ is in a corner of the room and can see every student at all times
- 'Island' grouping allows for points systems to be set up and/or to recognize group/team efforts for achievement
- Bathroom passes located near the door and are not distracting for other students when some students leave the classroom 
- Hall passes are in front of the main teacher's desk and allow for the teacher to see who is using the hall pass and why

Not-So-Effective: 
- ~30% of students at any given point in time have their back turned to the teacher and have to physically turn around to see
-~45% of the students in the room are directly facing another student. This can be distracting or enticing for some students to talk to one another ]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469613 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469804 -Self Help Stations for supplies, classwork, homework, etc 
-Quiet/Calm areas for reading or cool down 
-Structured/clean visuals 
-Soft or calming lighting, natural light if at all possible!
-Areas for students to turn in their work discretely, but also where it can remind them to turn it in (like on the way out of the door)
-Seating in which students have opportunities to discuss with their peers 
-Large writing/font to ensure that everyone can see 
-Space for students to move around, it was interesting seeing my freshmen vs my seniors in the classroom]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469804 zoebrunson https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469807 -Enough space for physical movement and transitions
-Set locations for materials, turn-ins etc. 
-Flexible furniture and layouts
-Minimal "decorations" ie. posters
-Students set up to collaborate
-Student input ]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469807 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469921 -> Flow or movement throughout the class
-> Opportunities for groupings with seating
-> Board is view-able from all angles (No backs to board if possible)
-> Wall space available for students work
-> Designated areas for supplies and bathroom passes (discuss expectations about materials)]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469921 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469922 Effective: 
-set-up in quads making it easy to use collaborative strategies.
-Turn-in location near the door.
-Funko-pop Wall (over twenty different characters) class could have a vote on next characters to add.

Ineffective:
-Not all students were able to face the board and had to turn.
-the projector was not high enough, students in the back could not see over tall students while seated.
-with 8 quads it is tight to try and circulate the room, especially if there are binders in the walkway.]]> 2020-04-14 23:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507469922 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507470079 Teacher able to see all students
space to move around the class.

Students easily grouped
Class materials (pencils, paper, tape, sharpener, ect.) easily accessed.

Assignments and notes available for when students miss
Phone pocket
Spots on floor where desks are supposed to go]]> 2020-04-14 23:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507470218 adavidsonreese https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507470471 - Having enough space for whole group instruction
- Having supplies in places that make sense/labeled
- Designating an area for a 'safe space'
- Having a specific traffic flow for technology pick up/drop off
- Small group instruction table situated so that teacher can see the whole class
- Signs hanging above 'station' areas (from ceiling on monofilament) to designate work areas and reduce wall clutter]]> 2020-04-14 23:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507470471 https://padlet.com/frost5/CM1/wish/507470586 Kelli Frederick
