I teach (2) General Chemistry courses which are composed of students in grade 10 and ages range from 15 to 16years, (2) physics courses and (1) DAPCEP course. This is in an inner city public school which is one of 10 high schools in a large urban district in Michigan. The school has an open enrollment policy and general education curriculum with students who are in regular and special education. The student population is composed of 97.2% African American, 1.1% Hispanic, 1.1 Caucasian, and 0.6% American Indian or Alaska Native students of which 67.2% are male and 32.8% female. The school is classified as a Title I school and all students receive free lunch. The district mandated class size is 36 although the students are classified as high risk and each class period is only 55 minutes long.
