January 3, 201313 yr Average class size for government school where you work? (Someone can create a poll on private schools on a separate thread if they like. I'm interested in public schools. Thanks!)
January 3, 201313 yr My smallest class is 48. Biggest is 55. Guess that makes my average around the 52 mark.
January 3, 201313 yr Voted from previous experience, classes were from 40 to 60 students in a smallish room, some of the kids sat at desks most didn't, was actually a language lab, but the stuff never worked.
January 3, 201313 yr oops i didn't scroll down far enough to see your rider...my vote was for the school i'm at now.. the English classes are split between 2 teachers so 40-50 students in total. on previous work i had average 50 in a class government municipal school it did vary on grade and time of year.
January 3, 201313 yr Author 60! Holy nakrian! I was feeling bad for myself at 30! You all make me feel very lucky. Thanks for the posts. Keep 'em coming. Maybe the next topic should be: How Do You Stay Sane?
January 4, 201313 yr Virtually all government schools will have more than 30. This poll will work well for private schools - I have between 7 and 25 in my EP.
January 4, 201313 yr Author 1st :22 2nd: 25 3rd: 32 4th: 25 4th: 32 5th: 40 6th: 40 My average is 30.87 Have my own "lab," which hopefully next year I can fix up a bit. Working on some mentors now.
January 4, 201313 yr Author 49-61 61! Ouch! I saw the numbers, then glanced at your avatar. Thought, for a second, than was an Uzi!
January 6, 201313 yr I haven't taught at a government school for several years, but here is my experience from the past: M4-M6 at a Wat School - 25 M3 at a Wat School - 50 M1-3 at Bodin Decha - 50+ M1-3 at an EP Prog. - 30 - 35 M4 at an Ep Prog - 20-25 Personally, I find that I cannot teach effectively with more than 25 students in a class.
January 6, 201313 yr I work in a government EP high school. All my classes are capped at 30 students. My old non EP high school 40-45 students.
January 11, 201313 yr Try this for size 100-150...sometimes 200-300 students.. on the university level but general Entertainment Classes.. sad
January 11, 201313 yr When I worked in a government school a few years back it was 33-35, despite the cut off being 30 for the EP classes. Non-Ep were up to 45 students Now my biggest class i 15 and my smallest 9, it started off at 3 in May.
January 14, 201313 yr Any non EP/MEP class I have taught has been 40 to 55 students in rooms that are designed for 30, except for a village school I taught in where the size was 24, a very good size to teach. The 40 plus classes in rooms designed for 30 were almost impossible to teach.
