Explain how classroom organization influences student independence, productivity, and adherence to rules.
What will be an ideal response?
Children’s growing sense of independence is supported when they can confidently and competently use equipment and when space and materials are arranged so that they can see what is available and make autonomous choices. At the same time, children develop a sense of responsibility when the environment makes it clear how and where materials are to be returned when they finish using them. Children are more productively involved in activities when the purpose of classroom spaces is clearly defined and when materials are developmentally appropriate. Children are also more likely to follow classroom rules when the environment reinforces these; for instance, if it is important for reasons of safety that children not run inside, classroom furnishings should be arranged in a way that makes walking, rather than running, natural.
