Our classes are too large! There are as many as 34 students on a roster. I am a Special Education teacher and my focus is on our students that struggle the most. Because of our large class sizes and my struggling students, my coteacher and I find that splitting the class into smaller groups is often more effective than whole class learning. Most of our classes have three teachers--the third being an English New Language teacher. Accordingly, we often split into three groups. Each of the three groups must have the ability to take down notes and look at visuals, but we cannot do that in a three teacher classroom without three whiteboards. We have two but we need a third, so that all three teachers can teach their group. Along with the third whiteboard, we need more dry erase markers, in bold colors, to capture the students' attention, and cleaning/erasing materials (we have none). All of these supplies will facilitate the small group learning experiences that will help them succeed.
