This component of Domain 2 is about organizing the classroom in a way that is safe and accessible for students. It is also important for teachers to make good use of the furniture and materials they are provided. This component is important because there needs to be a safe environment for all students to learn. Not only does the classroom have to be safe in the physical sense, but also in the mental and emotional sense. Classroom setup has to be done in a way that all students can get around the classroom.
