Careful planning and personal touches will make your classroom a home away from home for your students. If you make the classroom a place in which your students feel at ease, you will have a better opportunity to produce willing, active learners. I personally do the following; I determine a seating arrangement and make sure it is appropriate for the instruction or activities I have planned. I make sure desks are arranged so that all students can comfortably see whiteboard and overhead screen. Lastly, I do my best to create learning centers with fun activity.
