Classroom setup is an important component in a learning environment because it is an essential piece of classroom management to support both teaching and learning.

Compassion-Based Strategies for Managing Classroom Behavior



There’s a saying some educators use: “The best classroom management strategy is an engaging lesson plan.” That may be true, but there are often a few students who act out in class no matter how well the teacher prepares.
