CLASSROOM STRUCTURING

The regular classroom may be ideally structured in the following manner:

a. At the entrance to the room, a signboard is posted, showing the following


identification: (Grade/Year and Section occupying the room)(Name of
teacher handling the class)
b. A framed copy of the class program is displayed on the door to the
classroom at adult eye-level.
c. On the front wall (that is, the wall facing the class), the classroom
chalkboards, properly framed and provided with chalk ledge and
curtains, are installed at a height which is in accordance with the
maximum comfortable reach of the children to the top of the board. (The
proper height of the chalkboard from the floor to its top-edge is
determined by multiplying the mean standing height of the class by the
constant 1.2.) This constant is the result of studies conducted on the
portion of the standing height to the normal reach of the hand over the
head of the individual.)
d. Above the chalkboard, a framed portrait of the President of the
Philippines shall be displayed prominently at the center, flanked on one
side at a lower level by a framed motto (for the month or week) and on
the other side by a framed picture preferably relevant to the motto. In
Grades I and II, framed perception strips are displayed along the top
edge (or frame) of the chalkboard, while framed conceptualizing strips
are displayed along the bottom-edge of the chalk ledge. The bulletin
boards and tack boards, as well as charts, may be placed on the walls at
the sides or at the back of the room. They shall be placed at the same
height as the chalkboards.
e. The attendance chart and the DepED forms rack are placed near the
door.
f. The teacher’s table, chair and cabinet are located at the rear of the
room.
g. One corner of the room is set up as a reading corner. Another corner of
the room is set up as a health corner and provided with a first aid or
medicine cabinet with mirror, soap dish, towel rack, and hand
washing and drinking facilities.
h. The seating arrangement of the pupils/students shall be flexible,
depending upon the needs or activities of the class.
