A well-chosen seating plan can make a big difference to learning. Researchers from Niagara University have found that classroom seating arrangements can influence student learning, attention, participation, and interactions. A well-considered seating plan can therefore make a real difference to how children learn. Whether you're aiming for quiet concentration or collaborative energy, matching the layout to your learning objectives can significantly enhance outcomes.

Changing seats can feel like a big deal to younger children — especially if it means sitting away from close friends or adapting to a new part of the classroom.
