Hi Larry, A proper setting lends itself to positive growth. This simple truth if often forgotten in educational settings. If the classroom is not properly arranged and the supportive equipment is not functioning then no matter how hard you try as an instructor you are going to struggle. There are many things an instructor can do to create a supportive environment for students. The most important thing is to look around and see the setting through the eyes of the students. This vision perspective will greatly assist you in developing the setting you want to have in your classroom. Gary
