Traditional Rows seating plan for 32 students
Paired blocks of desks facing the screen, split by a center aisle. This version is built for a class of 32.
How the seats are placed
Students face the screen in 4 rows. A full row seats 8, split into two blocks by one center aisle, with a teacher desk in front of the first row.
For 32 students, the plan uses 4 rows of seats, and every student row seats 8. The editable grid is 11 cells wide and 10 cells tall, counting the front of the room. A center aisle runs through the student block.
Rows keep every face pointed at one board. That is what you want for worked examples, silent reading, and any lesson where a second conversation is a distraction. The center aisle is there so you can reach a student in the middle without climbing over a desk.
