To blog or not to blog. I have evidently lost or cannot locate my original blog. So my posting begin are here.
I truly enjoy being in the classroom teaching. I have had the oportunity to student teach in two very different educational settings. The first was a IB public Middle School. The current one is a charter Middle School. I really enjoyed the students in both settings. However, the charter setting seems to promote a more positive culture for learning. Smaller class sizes, gender specific groupings, and a parent commitment that is refreshing, all lend to an enjoyable teaching experience where discipline issues are no longer and learning in the classroom is on the forefront of what takes place.

I have a few questions - these might help you push your reflection:
You say that the charter school promotes a more positive culture for learning - then you list smaller class sizes, gender specific groups, parent commitment as possible reasons for this [at least that's the way I'm reading your Blog]. Were these things missing from the IB school? Do you think smaller class size has a bigger effect than gender groups?
What is it about smaller classes that makes a more positive culture for learning? Same question about single gender classes.
