What does your classroom look like?

Greetings!   Welcome to a blog for teachers, yes another one. 

The intent of this blog (at the moment) is to gather information regarding the history of US Education from 1980 to the present.  Please share your classroom! 

If you were a classroom teacher anytime from 1980 to the present, I'd love "see" your classroom.  I need details for this research. 


Check out our classroom, February 2013

• What is the "time frame" of the classroom that you are blogging about? (for example, 1980's)
• Your location?  (state would be great)
• What did your classroom look like?   Photos are great! 
• What was the makeup of your students?  Demographic type information would be nice.
• What was the grade level and content?
• What was the major educational philosophies of the time?
• What were curricular trends at that time?
• What was your typical class size?

Here's my information: 
Time Frame:  Now, 2013
Location:  Middle Georgia
Looks like:  Desks are grouped in U shapes so that I can access each child.  7 student computers are lined along the walls.  Anchor charts are all over the room.  Smart Board and Document camera are used daily, as well as dry-erase boards. (This picture is posted with parental consent.) 
Student demographics:  male and female sixth-grade students of great diversity, age 10 - 12 years.
Grade level/content:  Sixth-grade mathematics
Educational philosophy:  Research-based decision making
Curricular Trend:  Response to Intervention (RTI)
Class Sizes:  15 - 17 for co-teaching classes and 22 - 25 for regular education classes
Hi Again! I decided to share my classroom, in hopes that you'll share yours.

This photo above is the real deal; That's me in our classroom, helping a student. The "Elf" picture is funny; isn't that how we look when we sit at a student desk? 

Please share a description of your classroom. I need your help to conduct this research. Pictures are optional, but details are needed.
