Shaker Heights Middle School

Shaker Heights Middle School, it is the first school district in Greater Cleveland to adopt the highly regarded International Baccalaureate program at all grade levels.The IB schools features a global focus and emphasis creative problem solving, hands-on projects, inquiry-based learning, and community service. It was a really great experience and I am glad we had the chance to go to the classrooms and observe how the teachers work with their students and I think it was a really great opportunity for my classmates who want to be teachers.

The first classroom we went to, was a math class and they had an exam on that day so there was not that much to do. But I liked how the class was full of posters and nice stuff. It was not a big class there was about 15 students which I think it is good for them so the teacher can spend equal time with each student.

The second classroom we went to, was a reading class. They worked in two groups; first group was the teacher and 4 students they were reading in circle and the teacher was listening to them and correcting them if they make any mistakes. The second group, were doing the same thing but there was only   2 students in that group.
