Contextual Information
http://arcg.is/1St6VPG
1. Knowledge of characteristics of students
A. Age-Range, Gender, Total number of students: Mrs. Quong teaches 11th
grade at Lafayette High School. She has 6 periods, five of which are US History, and
one period is APUSH. In total she has about 130 students each day throughout all of
her classes. Because these students are in the 11th grade they are about 16-17 years
old. According to the website, Lafayette High has over 700 students. First period
has 11 females, and 7 males. Third period has 10 females and 6 males. Fourth
period has 14 females and 11 males. Fifth period has only 7 females, and 16 males.
Sixth period has 11 females, and 8 males. Seventh period has 14 females and 11
males. So the class periods are vastly different.
B. Achievement Levels (Remedial, Average, Advanced/ Accelerated, or
specify range in percentiles or grade-equivalent): According to ArcGIS, 77%
of high school students graduated high school. Many of the students are on the
average level for learning. In Mrs. Quongs AP class, the students are more
advanced and therefore have a learning environment to focus on this.
C. Socio-Economic Description: In Lafayette County High, there is a 81.5% white
population, and 13.7% African American population. The median household income
is about $50,000 according to a 2012 census. None of the kids seem to be from
struggling households, so I would have to say that this data is correct. It is evident
from the types of clothing the students wear that they fall into this income bracket,
ranging from lower middle class to upper middle class. Many of students will also
show off their school spirit and wear Lafayette High related clothes because of their
interest in school actives and sports.
D. Typical Demeanor of Students: The students are more often than not paying
attention in class and staying on task. They participate in class discussions and also
ask questions to gather more information about a particular topic. While some
classes are crazier than others because they are more talkative, the students are
generally attentive in class.
E. Typical Interest and Involvement of Students: Many of the students show
their support for their school, and also take part in sports and other activities. There
are kids on the baseball team, soccer team, JROTC, and other school activities. The
students in this school also enjoy the outdoors and are constantly taking about their
weekends outside and spending time on their four-wheelers.

2. Knowledge of students varied approaches to learning (Include

information from learning styles inventory): After observing this classroom, it is
obvious to see that students are visual learners. These students have a set of class notes
that requires them to fill in the missing blanks from the power-points. They also have a
section of questions that go along with each chapter of their textbook, so it requires the
students to actually read the textbook.
3. Knowledge of students skills and prior learning: These students seem more
interested in their personal lives than about being taught US history; however, there is a
select few that care about social studies. Many students also just seem to be lazy and
therefore say, I don't know when asked a question in class. After grading their tests it
is obvious that they forget stuff very easily, even when the tests are in multiple choice
format. For those students in APUSH (even though its the first time this course is
offered) the students seem to be doing very well, they understand what they are
learning, and also ask questions to further their knowledge about the particular subject.
4. Knowledge of community and school district (Include a description of the
community and school district): Lafayette County Schools are in Oxford, and these
students come from middle class families. The schools is up to date technologically; the
teachers have Mac computers in their classrooms as well as smart boards. The high
school consists of 9-12 graders and the junior high has 6-8 graders. The elementary
school is separated by upper, 3-5, and lower elementary, k-2. The city of Oxford contains
about 20,000 people, and the county has a population of about 51,000 people.

cents to the dollar earned by men in the same job.
- English
- 1965 Literacy Test in Alabama requiring African Americans to pass it before they
were able to vote, but due to the high rate of illiteracybecause of centuries of
poverty and oppressionthey inevitably failed.
TIAI 6) IEP Plans and Enrichment
- For those students that require extra help:
- Mrs. Quong send students to the resource room on test daysif need be, the
teacher in there will read the test to themand they will receive extra time to
complete the test.
- Students can also make corrections to their tests in this room. If they do
poorly on a test, the student is instructed to take their notes and the test,
and go back through very question finding where the answers are in the test
to see that the answers do come from class work and notes.
- IEP: James Brunosits in the front of the room and to the right of the board so

- In order to avoid confusion and a hectic classroom, I placed the students into groups
before the assignment was mentioned. I had a class list, and knowing that I would
have six different groups, I went down the list(alphabetically) and placed the students
into groups that way, it was randomand avoided friends working together. That way
students are able to work together with students they normally would not work with
they are able to hear new ideas and help each other.

I would like to introduce myself since I will be spending the rest of the semester

two weeks of March (February 29 - March 11) I will be teaching a unit on the Civil Rights
Movement (Chapter 18) and The Kennedy and Johnson Years (Chapter 19). During
those two weeks my university supervisor will be coming in to observe me teaching

Mrs. Quong about it. I look forward to working with your child and am excited about the
rest of the school year.

Sincerely,

Ms. Pilmer
