Physical Environment
The physical setting of the classroom can assist in
preventing inappropriate or negative behavior. For example, student seating
arrangements within the classroom, at the desks or on the floor can be arranged
to position the students who have behavioral problems. These students can be
seated closer to the front of the room nearer to the teacher so that the
teacher can try and redirect negative behavior with minimal interruption to the
class as a whole. Bring the student closer to the front will also help the
student to remain focused on the work they are doing with less to distract them
away from the teacher. A well arranged classroom is not a
guarantee of positive behavior, although it has been found that poor planning
or mismanagement in this area can create conditions that lead to problems or
issues within the room. To assist students in a flowing classroom frequently used areas of the room such as traffic lanes should remain
unobstructed and be easily accessible. Students should be able to see the front
of the classroom and board without having to turn or move unduly and commonly
used classroom materials, should be easily accessible (Education Information for New and Future Teachers.
2010).
With this type of room management minor behavioral issues can be
prevented.
