Students in these Learning Centers are encouraged to take responsibility for their projects and activities. This makes it possible for teachers to work with smaller groups while students are working under the supervision of learning guides. Some demonstration or performance lessons are designed for the whole Learning Center. Each day at the Learning Center, students engage in a variety of activities and projects. Some kids, for example, may be experimenting with different ways to convert salt water to fresh water, while another group is working on a play they wrote.
Older students help younger students and everyone benefits.
The first form of evaluation is the students' written reflection on their accomplishments and success in reaching their goals. They compare the goals they set for themselves with their accomplishments. Then they set new goals. Students participate in tournaments, games, plays and demonstrations. Parents can see how their child's work compares with other children.
