How to Create a Hypothetical Classroom

Setting up a hypothetical classroom is a task you might take on when teaching student teachers how to manage a classroom and teach. Often, each student teacher will take a turn being the teacher while the rest of the students are divided into groups that have various tasks. The goal is for prospective teachers to practice handling hypothetical situations that they may find in a real classroom. This is an important exercise in preparing a new teacher for a first interview.
