Classroom Design Project Rubric

The arrangement of a classroom adds to or detracts from a classroom's effectiveness. A teacher needs to decide what activities he wants to include in his daily schedule, what kind of arrangements he wants for his desks and how he wants the traffic flow to be managed. A classroom teacher who is innovative and creative needs to accommodate the activities he/she wants his/her students to become involved in without making his/her classroom feel cramped or uncomfortable.
