In the classroom I have sat in on, I have noticed that the teacher's classroom is very structured and every class period follows the same basic outline - she has a lecture prepared with helpful slides to accompany them, along with the lecture, she has paper handouts with helpful ways of prompting the students to take notes while she talks. Then, after the lecture, she gives the students time to either work in groups to fill out the rest of the worksheet, or free time for doing and making up homework.
I have observed that the majority of the students have responded quite well to the structure of this classroom. When they break up into smaller groups after the lecture, for the most part, they all seem to help each other in finishing up the work. I have also noticed that many students utilize their time well in finishing up the work or making up late homework assignments.
I feel like the teacher has found a great way for her to teach efficiently while also using a variety of different teaching techniques that seem to reach almost all of the students. I am aware of at least a few students in her classroom who have special needs, and I observed them working very well within her classroom structure.
