Having a good classroom design and layout will enhance the childrens' learning experience greatly. You can try a U-shaped desk design, which will give the teacher access to all the children, without being crowded. Sets of four to six desks combined will give the children an opportunity to work on projects together. You can always revert to the classic rows of chairs, which might be good for a
. high school class that likes to pass notes. Keep the wall design cheery and bright, and have lots of reminders of topics relevant to the studies.
