What this sheet is for

Draw the room you actually have and put names into it, so a cover teacher or a new colleague can see who sits where and why.

Who it is for

Teachers, tutors, exam invigilators, trainers and youth group leaders.

How to use it

  1. Draw the desks, the board, the door and the windows first.
  2. Write names in pencil for the first week.
  3. Note why the plan is as it is — it is what stops it being undone by someone else.
  4. Redraw rather than amend after a few changes.
  5. Leave a copy with the class file for cover.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: A blank room plan to write names into, with space for why the plan is as it is.

Draw the room, then fill it. Draw the room first — desks, door, board, window — then write the names in. A plan drawn to fit the room is worth more than a grid that does not match where anybody actually sits.
