Goals for the Classroom

MyGoals for the Classroom

1. That learning be done in a meaningful context relevant to your child’s

life and that there is a

balance between practice and instruction.

2. To help enable your children to become independent, self regulating, self

motivating, and

responsible learners. This classroom is not run in a teacher directed

manner. I encourage

children to explore what they are interested in, and create opportunities and

structure for them to do

that.

3. I want to encourage and facilitate cooperation and problem solving in

both the academic and

social areas.

4. Most of all I wish to create a community where your child feels safe, and

feels free to take risks

both socially and academically. This is when real learning is able to occur.

Our classroom is a place where children can learn, be encouraged to

try their hardest at whatever it is they are doing and have fun. Students

are reminded to recognize the fact that we have different brains in our classroom.

Cooperative learning and partner work enables students to

access curriculum in a stimulating environment.
