A second change you will notice as you visit today s Catholic schools is the instructional program. Formerly, the typical classroom had student desks lined up in neat rows. Little else was in the classroom except a blackboard. Today, the desks are usually grouped in clusters. About 20 to 35 students work in different areas in the classroom.
Some students access information from the Internet.
At another technology station, students e-mail students on the other side of the globe. Others watch a video. The teacher works with a small group in an instructional area near her workstation. An aide tutors one student. A few students complete assignments at their desks.
