Mrs. Busby and Mrs. Stille have two different, effective views on how they structure their classrooms. Mrs. Busby first starts the chapter by giving the students notes on what they will be learning. She then shows them how to fill out the different balance sheets and income statements that pertain to her accounting class and then give them time to work by themselves with all of the information the students need to complete the rest of the chapter by themselves, this is known as the gradual release model. The gradual release model is very effective and helps the kids become more independent and learn to use problem solving instead of always relying on their teacher for help. Mrs. Stille structures her classroom a little differently. Mrs. Stille starts her class off by welcoming them and handing back any papers or assignments. She then reviews material the class has been previously working on and then introduces the new information for the day.

She loves teaching the kids about her experiences as an accountant and watching the “lightbulb” come on, or when the curriculum that she is teaching finally makes sense to the student. Mrs. Stille continues teaching because of the students. She loves her job and the atmosphere and the faculty, but with all of that aside the students are definitely her first priority. Mrs. Stille always thought she wanted to be a teacher, but she absolutely knew that this was the right career for her when she saw she was making an impact on the students. She loves the lasting impression she makes on students in her career. TRANSITION.
Teachers use structure and philosophy to help themselves with their rewarding careers. Teachers use many different styles of teaching and every teacher finds the best ways and ideas to use in their own classroom environment. In this paper I summarized Mrs. Busby’s and Mrs. Stille’s views on teaching. Even though they did not use the same methods in the classroom, both teachers possess
