Teachers and students alike must have the ability and the opportunity to move freely about, especially in high traffic areas, so congestion does not build to a level that causes distraction or frustration, whether from students or from teachers.
When teachers group desks in functional ways, according to activity, for example desks for high-activity or high traffic desks grouped separately from desks for test-taking, students are more likely to demonstrate superior behavior because their teachers (Brophy, 1983) can easily meet their instructional requirements (Marsh, 2004). The classroom arranged in a manner that reduces congestion produces an environment with more discipline, safety and respect, which is important especially among students at the 8th grade level and above, when students are more likely to demonstrate behaviors akin to their personality and interests. A mathematics classroom organized around function creates an environment that stimulates students to participate in learning, and concentrate on subject areas, particularly at the junior grade level (Marsh, 2004).
To summarize, high-traffic areas including areas where computer-based learning takes based,...
Desks should be arranged in rows allowing for a wide enough space for two students to pass without delay, with no more than eight rows of desks to prevent too much congestion (Marsh, 2004). These efforts lead to greater discipline in the classroom and "generative" learning (Marsh, 2004).

Overall, the classes were uneven in their approach. In part of the class, they were very traditional and used lecture style. In other parts of the class, they freely allowed participation among students. For example, one teacher, despite the fact that he is more disciplined with the students, uses comparisons when explaining the concepts and refers to book when giving examples on the board. The class is quiet during a
Teaching Journal Today being a productive teacher is more challenging than ever. Children are much more used to varied classroom approaches, with the Internet, computers and other electronic equipment becoming the norm. Gone are the days when students sit quietly in their seats while the teacher stands and does mathematics on the chalkboard and reads from a textbook. I believe I am well prepared to meet this educational challenge. I know it

Adults With Learning Disabilities It has been estimated (Adult with Learning Disabilities) 1 that 50-80% of the students in Adult Basic Education and literacy programs are affected by learning disabilities (LD). Unfortunately, there has been little research on adults who have learning disabilities, leaving literacy practitioners with limited information on the unique manifestations of learning disabilities in adults. One of the major goals of the (Adult with Learning Disabilities) 1 National Adult Literacy
