Adapts the learning environment to accommodate the differing needs and diversity of students The above photo is a new seating chart I made for my classroom. One of the students (CC) needed to be moved to the front of the classroom because of vision issues he was having. Moving his seat became a more difficult task than I thought. LR, GJ, HB, and RD have to be at the front of the class because of educational plans they have in place, so that left only one spot for CC to go into. I had to move around a couple of different students to make this accommodation work for CC. When placing students next to each other, I took into careful consideration how well I thought they would interact academically and socially. For example, CP works really well with one of my autistic students, PJ. I didn’t want to separate them because she is very patient and helpful with him. The way the desks are set up in the classroom is effective for the teaching style my teacher uses. She does whole group lessons followed by collaborative table work. Students are all sat in a way where they can see the front of the classroom, but are placed close to each other so that they can work together. According to the text, seating arrangements should be flexible and able to accommodate the learning and teaching styles used in the classroom (Levin & Nolan, 2014).
