Presently in the school, only the math classes are arranged in this style. This means a seventh grade science class has children of all abilities ranging from ADHD, non-readers to ones who could score high on the SATs. She feels this is a particualarly hard situation for veteran teachers to grasp. One science teacher in the school gives up to six different tests to account for the wide range of abilities. She feels the administration should have asked the input of the staff before instituting the change.
Teachers are now guarenteed seven per week.
The administration also changed the layout of the program from self-contained classrooms to team based ones. This meant that Clark did not have to become an expert in every subject area. Mr.s Clark has continued teaching in this manner to the present. Although she does not presently advise any extra curricular activities, for example, her student council work, Clark is still a busy woman. She is an assistant to the superintendent in addition to her usual teaching duties.
