Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
Our son has some very special needs. Not only did the teacher take the time to watch a 4 hour DVD about his disorder and read articles we gave the school, he and other teachers organized a 1 hour training by me to help them understand what they could do to make his experience positive and help him learn. Also, our son has safety issues and he volunteered to be his "safe person" and when our son had problems was always there for him. He even talked to me when he was going on a one week vacation to find out how best to talk to our son about it so he would not be afraid while he was gone. He was beyond what any parent would expect in a teacher--caring, kind, engaging and a very active participant in our son's care and actually helped our son develop a sense of security outside our home.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
