U-Shape setup

U-Shape setup

The U-shaped setup is useful when quick transitions between activities are necessary, but there is not enough time to switch around the furniture in the classroom. It allows the teacher to be visible to all students, and it is possible to work in small groups.

U-Shape Classroom layout Learning Activities:

  • Think-Pair-Share: reflect individually, discuss with a partner, then share with the class.
  • Interactive Lectures: engage students actively during lectures with questions and discussions.
  • Student Response Systems: use technology for real-time student feedback and participation.
