Setup
Arranging desks without the gridlock
Classroom seating quietly drives behavior, focus, and participation, and rearranging it is one of the most annoying admin jobs a teacher does. The seating chart generator takes your class list and your room layout and produces a complete arrangement in seconds - then can randomize it as often as you want.
Use it for fresh starts after a rough week, to bust up cliques, to group students for project work, or to arrange intentional partnerships. Because it is instant, you can experiment: try rows, pairs, pods, or a U-shape and see what fits your space.
Every chart reflects your actual student list, so it is ready to print, project, or keep for a substitute who needs to know the room at a glance.
How to use it
- Enter your students and choose a basic room layout.
- Pick an arrangement style: rows, pairs, pods, or U-shape.
