What is a traditional classroom design?

A traditional classroom design usually consists of rows of desks and chairs facing the front of the classroom where the teacher's desk and a board or projection screen are located. The teacher typically stands or sits at their desk or at the front of the classroom to deliver lectures or conduct discussions, while students take notes and ask questions. In this setup, students are expected to listen and learn from the teacher's instructions and presentations. The traditional classroom design also usually involves various instructional materials, such as textbooks, handouts, and classroom supplies, which are distributed to students as needed.
