Organizing Physical Space
What is Component 2E?
Component 2E is about the layout of the classroom. A classroom must be a place where students feel safe. It also must be a place that ignites creativity, however it should not be distracting. It should also be laid out effectively for the class.
Why do we need Component 2E?
