The following is a list I built and kept throughout my time at AI Steenkamp. I added to the list whenever I noticed something and felt that it was taken for granted back in the states.
-space
-being able to roam the classroom and reach student's desks
-being able to have quiet in the classroom
-having closets or lockers to put away backpacks
-carpet/flooring
-teacher supply room
-technology esp. document camera
-making copies
-printing documents
-worksheet printed assignments or loose leaf paper completed assignments that can be collected and graded later
-scheduling and sense of time/organized prompt time
-class sizes under 40
-only having 25 or so papers to grade for each class, not 38-44
-having whiteboards and markers
-accessibility of comment stickers with words like wow, good job, etc. (ex. from Target for $1.00)
-being able to type anything you want and having a computer to do so
-having enough textbooks (at least one per student)
-substitute teachers/students learning during teacher absence
-toilet paper and soap
-air conditioning and heating systems
-having desks left where they are when the room is cleaned at night
-being able to separate learners during a test
