Parents are an integral part of the educational process and are a vital educational resource. Learning takes place when real life experiences are an integral part of the learning process. A team approach allows different points of view in a cooperative environment. Used regularly, this technique provides the opportunity for students to integrate learning concepts with interpersonal skills. Transdisciplinary and thematic learning encourage the development of critical thinking and problem resolution skills.
Technology can be a vital tool in all curriculum areas.
Technology does not subordinate the basic skills and knowledge that are primary to education. Computers and other technologies are used to help students learn and teachers teach. Cross age activities and flexible grouping enrich learning experiences for all students. Students benefit when they are allowed to guide their learning. Teachers are more effective when they become role models and facilitators of learning.
