Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching
Parent #1
This is quite hard as we have had many teachers at the school. Overall the experience has been exceptional. Most teachers would receive 'always' on every question. In a few cases, we have experienced difficulties that have stemmed from problems within the class and the dynamics of the children themselves. Some teachers are better at handling challenging situations. We have had one teacher more than once and the experiences were completely opposite due to the group of children in each particular class.
Parent #2
All Souls has great teaching teams. Most of the teams have been teaching together for more than 10 years, yet there is some new, freshly educated staff. Teaching the children to handle dispute resolution/mediation is a big goal and most children can and do resolve their own matters, sometimes with a teacher refereeing to ensure equal airtime for each child to state his/her position.
Parent #3
I have had two children in this classroom.Each of the 3 teachers has her own stlye and method but they work as a unified team. They run the class room so that it has structure without being rigid. Between the 3 of them they are able to make each child feel special, talented, clever, and SAFE. Each of the 3 teachers are excellent preschool teachers.
Parent #4
We don not spend alot of time in the classrooms but are always welcome so I answered the questiosn about being in the classroom as best as I could.
