What is the purpose of a school bus seating chart?
A school seating chart is an underrated tool that can help turn a good learning environment into a good learning environment. While there is no clear student placement model, when done correctly, a well-designed seating plan can promote an effective classroom environment that allows students to maximize their learning potential.
The school bus seating plan determines who is sitting where during the bus rides. The seating chart is a physical cue to students that they spend time together in class not for the purpose of improving your social game.
These are different environments with specific desired learning outcomes. Students can choose who to have lunch with, where to gather before school to talk and who to text after school. The seating chart shows students that this environment is different and encourages them to adjust their behavior accordingly.
