Classroom Seating Charts

Quick Teaching Tip

By Melissa Kelly, About.com

Using classroom seating charts is really a personal preference. The benefits of having assigned seats from the beginning are that you get to learn students names quicker, taking role becomes easier, and you establish your control over the classroom from the beginning. On the other hand, you probably will not know student relationships at the beginning of the year and might have some issues arise by friends or enemies being seated next to each other. If that is the case, you have to be willing to move the seats after a couple of weeks to help alleviate these issues.
