Learner benefits

The prime benefits of a well-organized learning space will accrue to the learners. The organization and procedures of the instructors (or lack thereof) are, after all, ever present reminders to the learners of how to behave, how to conduct tasks, and how best to be effective without discord in a group. Respect for others, consideration, efficiency, pride of accomplishment, security in knowing what, how, when, and where to do something - all these positive elements are the hallmarks and characteristics of learners who learn in well-organized learning spaces. Learners like a predictable, safe, and orderly environment that learners like goin to. For these reasons alone, it is important for instructors to pay close attention to good management and organization.

Instructors' Benefits

Aside from the benefits to learners, good organization brings powerful help to the instructor. In fact, it can be truthfully said that the first “aide” any instructor has is his or her ability to organize the learning space well. The immediate benefits of a well-organized learning space to the instructor are clear; less wasted time and therefore more efficiency. Not so immediately apparent, perhaps, are the following very significant elements:

• improved learner-instructor relations

• for teachers: improved parent relations

• increased job satisfaction

• increased enthusiasm for professional growth

• increased academic progress
