Unlike many of the early K-8 schools, the population Balfanz et al followed consisted of "64% African American, 19% White, 12% Hispanic, and 5% Asian students. Additionally, 97% of the sample attended schools that

planning by thinking about her learning objectives and standards she would like to cover. She thinks about what she wants her students to take away from the lesson and moves forward from there. Before beginning, Mrs. Ortinau considers what her students have learned in previous grades, and she tries to expand on that as much as possible.

fifth, and sixth grade class, I observed how the teacher began each lesson by writing the standards on the whiteboard.

teaching, learning styles and techniques. Being able to observe a few different classrooms has given me an opportunity to witness different aspects of teaching. Through all of my observations during college of teachers I am confident that teaching is what I want to do with the rest of my life. I will touch on a few topics from my observation throughout my paper such as, the objective of the lesson, types of methods the teachers used, differentiation instruction, ways the teachers assess learning in the

strategies, and student responses to the teacher. I will also discuss classroom set-up and give my impressions to the effectiveness of the teaching style and perceived student response to the learning activity. Overall, I felt that both teachers were amazing in their own style and kept the students engaged and on learning task. I observed Dylan Wittstruck’s ninth grade, 50 minute, Pre AP Trigonometry class at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, Colorado. There were 26 students in the class sitting
