Ask the cooperating teacher from your current field placement (or another teacher you know) for some opening day recommendations/ideas. List his/her thoughts below.In topic 16, Duplass describes alternate seating arrangements (theater, modified theater, round table, group, half circle, desk tops together). Which (if any) of these seating arrangements might you attempt in your classroom? Why?Draw a room arrangement that supports positive classroom management.Considering information presented in class, determine a beginning room arrangement that will support your style of teaching and support positive classroom management.
