My ideal school
One important factor in creating the “perfect” school is the physical layout of the building. I believe it would be beneficial to have different sections of the school specifically designed for one subject. For example all the biology and physics classes would be in the “Science” wing, while ceramics and painting classes would be located in the “Art” wing. In addition, a maximum of 20 students would be in each class so there is more time for “one-on-one” times between teachers and students. Lighting in all the classrooms and hallways would be medium strength. Bright lights might make it difficult to concentrate whereas dim lights would make it difficult to see and possibly put everybody to sleep.
In addition to the layout of the school, the layout of each classroom is also very imperative. In my opinion, the teacher’s desk should be at the front of the classroom so he or she may see all the students.

Students’ desks would be spread out in a half-moon shape so students are facing the teacher. It would be difficult but I think that if the windows in a classroom were to the backs of all the students, it would cause much less distracting. This would involve moving the “front” of the classroom to whichever wall be most opposite to the windows. Bulletin boards could be located in the classroom with pictures as long as they are pertaining to the subject at hand.

"Forget Me Knot"

Don't forget me now, laughing through the tears
For somewhere, somehow, life becomes the years
You speak to millions, but you're talking to no one
Home is the place that you can't walk away from
You seek our opinions but listen to no one
You throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done

We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion

No pretending now, your heart is open and you reappear
For somewhere, somehow, you dropped the ball and you ran with

    I noticed a big difference between the settings of the two classrooms I observed. The first classroom is Mrs. Thune’s first grade class at Sunrise Elementary. The classroom is very large for the twenty students and has plenty of windows. The entire room has a frog theme and leaping to learn motto. I noticed every wall had some type of teaching tool. Her walls are covered with resources and it all ties back into the frog theme to give a nice overall look. There is also a big lily pad floor mat in front of the Promethean board in the center of the room. The organization in the room is very neat and everything has a place. There is a corresponding drawer for every subject that the children can pull out and all the books are organized by theme or beginning letter. In addition, the cupboards in the room have books above with the corresponding stuffed animal to the book.…

    In most schools, pupils will spend the majority of their time in a classroom. These rooms must be kept tidy and well organised, taking into account seating positions of individual children and addressing the physical needs of individuals. For example, if a child has any visual impairment, it would be important to seat that child in a well lit area, close to the front of the class where they can more easily see the teacherâ€TMs whiteboard. A child with a hearing impairment may also need to be close to the teacher. A child with SEN may need a desk in a bigger space than…

    In planning lessons it is important not only to consider what is being taught and how but also where. In order to facilitate the feeling of an inclusive group a teacher may take into account the physical learning environment and if possible alter it to support inclusivity. Where appropriate this may be as simple as moving the desks from theatre style to cabaret or horse shoe style (Gavells 2012) to encourage group communication and ensure all students can view or access their teacher equally.…
