This has been the most interesting experience that I have had in the United States related to the teaching-learning process maybe because I had the opportunity to get into the classroom and see how an English native speaker teacher teaches to children whose first language is not English. The majority of the students in these both schools come from Mexico but some were born here that why some of them speak English as fluently as a native speaker does but some of them do not.
The fact that caught my attention positively was the size of the class. In Chile there are at least forty five students per classroom and in these both schools the largest class was about twenty nine students or so. Another thing that caught my attention was the fact that every teacher has his/her own classroom and he/ she can decorate according to their students need. I really liked the classroom atmosphere in Bridgeport.
In relation with the second school we visited I did not like it at all because in spite of having a big percentage of Spanish speakers, there were NOT any Spanish speaker teachers. So, I think is pretty difficult for these kids to learn. The only thing I liked from Brewster was its mission in which it was said that “…provide a positive environment where all students reach their greatest academic achievement potential, become self-directed, life-long learners who are able to comprehend, reason and communicate effectively.
Cheer in a positive maner
Lead by example
Always display school pride
Show respect to all
Success through sportmanship
