Arranging desks in L-shaped groups has advantages for both the students and the teacher.
Ask any teacher, “What’s the best seating arrangement for learning?” and you’ll likely get, “It depends…,” and I’d agree. It does depend on what and how students are learning, how they’re interacting with each other and their teacher, the actual furniture and space available, and the variety of interpersonal skills students possess when they walk through the classroom door.
