Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
As I had mentioned before, only a few teachers stood out for us. Three are outstanding teachers who genuinely care for the children and "teach by example". They also exhibit the patience required for teaching 3 year olds. Other teachers would use verbiage in reports that were questionable ("he clobbered me in the chin", "he would stand up as if to say 'I'll show you'".). The biggest issues we had were the fact that a lot of the teachers did not lead by example and were more observational than proactive in circumventing situations. If our child is new to the school, has never been in a school situation without parent supervision...help our child learn by introducing him to other kids. Or be proactive to take our child by the hand and ask if he would like to play with the kids he is watching.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

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!
