My third visit to the Global Charter School in New Bedford on March25th, 2015



Here are some pictures I took during todays visit to the school.

I found that a lot of the things that the students were learning were covering US history during World War II. The students were doing PowerPoint presentations of single battles that happened during the war dealing with the Pacific battles with the Empire of Japan and also battles with the Germans in the European as well as North African campaigns.

I was very interesting to listen to these presentations of these battles and being able to participate in the question and answer period after each presentation.  










My fourth visit to the Global Charter School in New Bedford on April 8th, 2015




Hi, These are some pictures I took from my visit work with the social studies / history classes at the Global Charter school.

I found that the visits to the schools were very helpful to learning, participating  and watching  how these classes day to day activities happened.

I found that I learned a lot about the way to work with high school student to get them to learn, comprehend and retain the parts of history they were learning.







In today's visit the students worked on

My second vist to the Global Charter School in New Bedford on March18th, 2015

In this second visit to the school, I worked with students primarily composed of 9th graders that were broken down into honor, intermediate and ELL groups. The things we worked on in class were  general history and social studies projects that on this day was about World War II and had to do individual major battle outlines using PowerPoint and make and show a model of the battle in their presentations. The students were generally around 15 or 16 years old.

The students worked on their own while they did their presentation. I think that the students did a great job with their presentations and were very well behaved during this project.

I think the teachers that I helped for the day had done a great job with the students. The students followed the school procedures from one activity to the next.

Below are pictures that I took at the school:



My First Visit to the Global Charter School

In this first visit to the school I worked with students primarily composed of 9th graders that were broken down into honor, intermediate and ELL groups. The things we worked on in class were  general history and social studies projects that on this day was about the Presidents and what was their big contribution to the county. The students were generally around 15 or 16 years old.

The students working in groups and on their own as they worked on different assignments. I think that the students worked well together for the most part and the school had a very strong structured presence throughout the building. The students were very well behaved.

I think the teachers that I helped for the day had done a great job with the students. The school seems to run very well from the other schools I worked at over in RI and to me the it was night and day to what I witnessed at those schools. They  followed the rules of the school from one activity to the next.
