Abstract

While in London, I visited Aimee Mills at the Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls. Aimee is the area head and after observing her classroom, she allowed me to observe Paul Allison’s classroom. This interested me as Paul also had a student teacher. I was able then to observe not only Aimee, but Paul and the student teacher. This gave me greater insight, because I observed various teaching styles. Students in Great Britain if similar to these classes, also seem to be better behaved. I was able to view classroom management techniques, lesson plan ideas, and past projects. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to photograph student work, nor include Aimee’s lesson plans in my ORCA project, because she wished them to be for my use only. Lesson plans for her school are set up much like ours in the US. There are objectives, aims of the lesson, standards, vocabulary, activity plans, assessment, and evaluation.
