Physically organize the learning environment so that the teacher can reach and see every learner. Tactical Decision Games (TDGs), discussions, After Action Reviews, etc., should be formed in a horseshoe with the learners oriented away from distractions. During classroom projects or group work, the faculty members should be able to reach every learner by using an interior loop which allows free access to all. When possible, arrange learners so their back is to the sun, even if that means the teacher is facing the sun. Oftentimes there is opportunity to use the slope of a hill to position the learners with a good view of the teacher and the terrain being discussed.
