Student Of The Week

This is our Student of the Week.  Tomorrow she will complete the fourth grade.  

She has made tremendous academic and personal progress this school year.  She has acquired knowledge that I am not sure would have even been presented to her had she remained in the public school system along with skills that wouldn't have been fostered or valued there.  She has overcome many anxieties and challenges that she had developed in response to traditional instruction and thereby she's broken down barriers to her own success.

She has also, through home schooling, shown her capacity for learning targeted new material fairly speedily which prompted a re-assessment of her needs/diagnoses and, in the end, led to greater opportunities for the coming (home) school year.  We're immensely proud of her hard work and accomplishments over the last ten months and looking forward to more growth in 21/22.

"That's called differentiated instruction.  That's called personalized learning.  That's called special education law.  That's called effective teaching." - from Lost at School by Ross W. Greene
