POSITIONING OF THE DESKS/STUDENT PLACEMENT TO MATCH TEACHING METHODS AND FACILITATE INCLUSION
• Arrange the classroom in a way that maximizes interaction, one that encourages but does not compel participation in whole class discussions.
• Desks in groups, for example, with students facing each other help stimulate social interactions;
• Desks in single or double rows are good for didactic teaching, demonstrations and independent work;
• Desks in u-shape can often be the best arrangement
• Place students with special needs away from high distraction areas and in a place best suited to their needs
