Marsh, c. , clarke, m. , & pittaway, s. (2014). Quote in relation to standard 3 and 4. Able to overlap (attend to several things at once) Some educators argue that advanced organisation of the physical classroom environment is of vital importance- it sets the stage. Rows assist the promotion of positive behaviour by: . Enabling the teacher to efficiently scan and monitor activity . Assisting with non-verbal correction through eye contact . Group tables assist the promotion of positive behaviour by: . Enabling more varied instructional strategies to be implemented . Meeting students" basic needs of belonging and social interaction . Meeting students" need for freedom, pleasure and power. Arrange the physical layout to provide appropriate areas for individuals and groups and to provide teachers with visual contact with students from anywhere in the classroom (reynolds, 1992 as cited in arthur, gordon & butterfield, 2003, p.
