The children are in these small groups for language, math and other teacher directed activites. How they accomplish this learning is an individualized process. In addition to direct instruction, teachers act as facilitators striving to provide as many activities as possible using the various intelligences.
Children discover that there are eight ways to learn in an age-appropriate manner.
Learning centers are used throughout the room and all students are encouraged to explore the various centers during choice time. Teachers have adapted center materials in order to integrate the itelligences and address the students' strengths and weaknesses. Although there is an age-appropriate degree of teacher direction, personal learning styles are encouraged in center work and children are allowed to work at their own pace.
