I’ll be honest—my entire classroom runs on a classroom seating chart. It’s not just about keeping the room orderly (although that’s a bonus). It’s how I teach smarter.
Let’s say I’m introducing a new concept and I’m not sure how it’ll land. I always check in with my highest performers first. If they’re confused? That’s my sign to pause and reteach before things spiral for everyone else.
That kind of strategic teaching? It starts with how I seat my students.
But as much as I rely on my classroom seating chart… I absolutely hate making it.
I start with one chart at the beginning of the year, then redo it once I get to know my students better. Then I adjust it again when I start targeting specific kids to move up a performance band. And don’t even get me started on what happens when I gain or lose students mid-year. It’s another round of dragging desks and rewriting names.
Sound familiar?

You can group students by ability, behavior, or collaboration style—whatever works best for your classroom. The best part? You can make quick changes on the fly without having to redesign the whole thing.
Because let’s be real: you’ve got way more important things to do than create another classroom seating chart by hand.
