I observed 4 classes taught by the same instructor: 2 regular English I classes and 2 senior AP English classes. I found this teacher frustratingly bipolar in his teaching style, looking at the whole of his teaching he is a very 'one size fits all,' but he also is very aware that many students that have learning disabilities or are on a lower reading level have different goals. He is very protective of his students and pushes them to preform better. I found that many of his insights, both reflective and concrete, to be infinitely helpful to me both in my course work and in my thinking for the future.
Thanks for your commentary Gina...I'm interested to hear specifics though. What specifically makes this instructor "bi-polar", and what have you seen that you will take with you from this experience?
