 Routines don’t just make your life easier;
they save valuable classroom time. And
what’s most important, efficient routines
make it easier for students to learn and
achieve more.”
A structured learning environment
provides many positive benefits for both
students and teachers. A structured class
translates to a positive, safe and secure
classroom. Learners enjoy learning when
they feel safe and not threatened. Class
structure includes but is not be limited to
the physical environment.
An ideal face-to-face classroom set-up
allows for fluid traffic patterns, wherein
the students can freely move around
without bumping one another or
something. The physical structure of the
classroom should also allow for maximum
teacher-student interactions with very
minimal distractions.
Tips for Providing Structure in the
Classroom
1. Rules and expectations must be given
on the first day.
2. Set high expectations and explain its
importance.
3. Hold students accountable for their
actions (absences, tardiness, failure to
submit requirements, etc.)
4. Keep your rules clear and simple.
5. Be prepared to adjust. It is essential to
understand that every class and every

Schools have various learning programs.

classroom and provide the learners to
apply what they have learned in real-world
