How to personalize a template
Strong classroom description lets readers understand where instruction or work is happening, how students and staff move, what can be seen or heard from the viewpoint, and how the same room changes between direct instruction, group work, independent work, transitions and dismissal. School routines, accessibility, supervision, emergency procedure, technology policy and pedagogical claims are verified instead of inferred from furniture or decor.

- 3Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
- 4Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
- 5Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
