This page contains how I might set up a classroom (general or special education), organized into sections: seating arrangement, common spaces, "What We're Learning," daily agenda, and building community. Click each image to view the source.
What We're Learning
I believe it is important for students to know what it is they're supposed to be learning as part of increasing engagement, motivation, and ultimately achievement. This includes explicitly giving them the learning objectives or "I can" statements, a focus wall with what we are working on for the week, and a place to hang anchor charts.
