September 1996
What to Look for in a Classroom
By Alfie Kohn
An earlier version of this chart was published in the September 1996 issue of Educational Leadership, and reprinted as the title essay in the anthology What to Look for in a Classroom...And Other Essays.
This revised version appeared as Appendix B of The Schools Our Children Deserve.
GOOD SIGNS
POSSIBLE REASONS TO WORRY
FURNITURE
Chairs around tables to facilitate interaction
Comfortable areas for learning, including multiple "activity centers"
Open space for gathering
Chairs all facing forward or (even worse) desks in rows
ON THE WALLS
Covered with students’ projects
Evidence of student collaboration
Signs, exhibits, or lists obviously created by students rather than by the teacher
Information about, and personal mementos of, the people who spend time together in this classroom
Nothing
Commercial posters
Students’ assignments displayed, but they are (a) suspiciously flawless, (b) only from "the best" students, or (c) virtually all alike
List of rules created by an adult and/or list of punitive consequences for misbehavior
Sticker (or star) chart -- or other evidence that students are rewarded or ranked
STUDENTS’ FACES
Eager, engaged
Blank, bored
SOUNDS
Frequent hum of activity and ideas being exchanged
Frequent periods of silence
The teacher’s voice is the loudest or most often heard
LOCATION OF TEACHER
Typically working with students so it takes a few seconds to find her
Typically front and center
TEACHER’S VOICE
Respectful, genuine, warm
Controlling and imperious
Condescending and saccharine-sweet
STUDENTS’ REACTION TO VISITOR
Welcoming; eager to explain or demonstrate what they’re doing or to use visitor as a resource
Either unresponsive or hoping to be distracted from what they’re doing
CLASS DISCUSSION
Students often address one another directly
Emphasis on thoughtful exploration of complicated issues
