21st Century Classrooms

There's alot that comes to mind when I think of my 21st century classroom, for starters it would be extremely diverse because I see myself educating in my hometown of Springfield, Ma. I feel like I would make a much needed positive impact in my community hence the reason for me wanting to teach back at home. Inside the classroom I'll have charts and graphs on the walls for students to glance at and begin to memorize. Math and Science books for students to read along with some black owned magazines such as Enterprise to expand the student’s business mind set. I’m big on sports so I’ll have some Lakers, Eagles, Yankees, Patriots and Fort Valley paraphernalia around the classroom. They’ve already begun to integrate more technology into the classrooms, so; I expect to see Cable TV’s so students know what’s going on in the world (CNN), a few Ipads making it easier for students to do searches, and maybe even some digital books. Uniforms also seem to be entering public schools so I see a classroom where all the students are dressed in uniform thus causing fewer distractions. I'll assign seating instead of allowing students to sit where they please; it helps especially with a wild and talkative class. For help around the class I’ll have a few volunteer assistants. As far as the teaching going on inside the classroom, it’ll be simple and easy to comprehend and as far as the class itself is concerned after six months with me, it’ll be a well mannered, sociable, and educated group of young men and women.
