Model Classroom

Original Question:
You will create a model classroom that you will refer to for the rest of the course.  
Include any information that will be relevant to the teaching of those students. If you think the economic status of the student matters for your classroom, enter that information.  If you think race, cultural background, gender identity, religion, etc. matter- include it. Base it as much on reality as possible.
If you want to work in Boston, try and find out the class size and make up of a class you are likely to teach. Make a seating chart that is typical of a classroom that you have or will encounter:

How many students? What age group? What subject? What abilities do they have? ELL students?

Model CP Algebra 1 Classroom:


This classroom is based off of one of my current classes I teach at Beverly High School. There are 16 students in my CP Algebra 1 Classroom. There are 4 girls and 12 boys. 15 are freshmen and 1 (boy) is a repeat sophomore. The age range is between 14-16. This is a higher performing than usual CP Algebra 1. Most students generally do their homework, with a few that do minimal work, but still OK academically in the class. There are no ELL students in this particular class.


Beverly is considered a middle class city on the North Shore, however, Beverly is very diverse socioeconomically. There is low income housing, quite a bit of middle class, but then there are large mansions that hug the coast.
For technology, each student has a required Macbook. Classrooms are equipped with projectors and sound systems.



Students are seated in desks in traditional rows.



The classroom atmosphere is bright. There are snarky posters on the wall with the intent to crack a smile--which usually does not happen in a math class.



My classroom is mostly traditional ways and routine, mixed with a little sass, and some technology incorporated in!
