Making Seating Charts Like a Pro

One of the best things about being a substitute teacher is seeing how others organize their classroom. In October, I covered for a teacher and love how she handles seating charts!

She has a binder with tabs for each class period. Directly underneath is a layout of the tables in her room. She has the names of the students written on tiny sticky notes.

This is great because it's easy to: 

  1. Make quick changes to a seating chart when you inevitably put two students together that do not promote a good learning community.
  2. Arrange students when it's time for a new seating chart. No typing in names or moving it around on a computer before printing it off. It looks much crisper than a handwritten seating chart, too.
