That’s why we allow children to choose which classroom they feel they would best succeed. Our philosophy is that of a facilitative environment in which we promote self-learning and help students develop critical thinking skills that lead to self actualization. Our philosophy has shown proven success in children grades 1-4, based on the foundation that students learn best when structuring the learning environment to mirror the ways that students CENTER their learning.]]> 2017-12-05 22:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213532224 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213532543 Unlike most traditional schools, here at The Center School we do not have a principal or administration staff. Each teacher is trained to be a leader specialized in the type of learning that they administer in one of our six classroom types. ]]> 2017-12-05 22:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213532543 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213532768 All of our teachers have obtained Bachelor's degrees in Early Childhood Education to insure that they have been trained properly to provide adequate knowledge and safety for your children. Each of our teachers have been strategically placed in their proper classroom, to ensure that their specific teaching styles are optimized and are suited best for the children in which they will be teaching. They have been shown to have the ability to work with children who learn through different styles, and are able to accommodate each child's specific needs. This hybrid-style centered learning integrates the teacher's personalities in the interest of the students needs and curriculum.  ]]> 2017-12-05 22:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213532768 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213533426 Our curriculum follows the typical fundamental subjects of mathematics, science, social studies, language arts, music, art and reading. Our primary focus is building the foundation for a well-rounded education through centered learning styles. Although The Center School tends to follow the traditional curriculum, it varies from traditional by replacing performance tests with content centered projects that require an understanding of the topic to complete.]]> 2017-12-05 22:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213533426 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536467 In our group-centered learning classroom, students work in groups to complete assignments and projects. This is a environment that allows students to corroborate together to determine what and how they will learn through debate and feedback from peers. ]]> 2017-12-05 23:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536467 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536561 In our hands-on learning classroom, students learn through activity based assignments. These often come in the form of experiments and kinetics. This provides students the opportunity to see connections between learning and real-world experiences. ]]> 2017-12-05 23:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536561 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536625 In our independent learning classroom, students study curriculum independently at their own speed. Students are given the opportunity to discover knowledge themselves. ]]> 2017-12-05 23:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536625 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536700 In our technology-centered classrooms, students each have their own computer to complete assignments. Not only are students provided the opportunity to learn keyboarding skills, but also computer programing skills that could be used in their future. The privacy of technology-centered learning allows a less competitive classroom which allows students to enjoy their environment without any pressures. ]]> 2017-12-05 23:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536700 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536823 In our art-centered classroom, students learn though creative tasks, often in the form of art projects, meant to attract visual learners. Students are provided the opportunity for creative expression and presentation skills when completing these tasks.]]> 2017-12-05 23:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536823 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536850 In our problem-solving centered classroom, teachers incorporate problem solving and critical thinking skills into every subject. This classroom is geared for children who learn through constructing a deep understanding of the subject matter, looking at the "bigger picture." ]]> 2017-12-05 23:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213536850 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213539637 At The Center School, we have six types of classrooms, all personalized to center your child's education through instruction, expression of learning, and assessment to each student’s unique needs and preferences. Each teacher has been particularly chosen to use instruction geared toward the strengths and challenges of each student placed in their classroom. We have found that children are most successful and motivated to learn when given the opportunity to determine their preferred method of learning. Students are provided 100% of the supplies needed to complete the curriculum, as we find that students' success can be greatly impacted when supplies are equally distributed. Thus insuring that each student within one of our six classrooms reaches their full potential at equal opportunity. ]]> 2017-12-05 23:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/213539637 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/214178471 2017-12-07 15:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/214178471 racheycarmm https://padlet.com/racheycarmm/wole09vkfkb0/wish/214326887 1.http://schoolimprovement.com/strategy-of-the-week/stem-benefits-of-hands-on-learning/
