Classroom Set-up
Visibility – You must be able to see all students at all times. Students must be able to see
instruction and displays.
Accessibility- You must be able to move easily to any student especially those who need
help frequently. You and your students must be able to access needed
materials easily.
Distractibility-Seat students away from distractions- e.g., windows overlooking campus, pencil sharpener…. Separate students who
constantly interact inappropriately.
