High School First Visit

The classroom I visited was part of Project Lead the Way, but was at a learning center instead of a high school. Students are pulled from high schools all around the valley for classes.

I found the classroom ambiance to be very relaxed, allowing students to work at their own pace. While working at computers, they were also allowed to wear headphones to listen their own music. However, students weren't distracted and worked diligently at their tasks. The teacher provided them with the tools they needed to accomplish their work, and then floated around the classroom helping them as needed.

I would really enjoy teaching in a classroom like this. There were only about 10 students, so it was easy help them on an individual basis. They also seemed to really enjoy the work they were doing.
