Many of you may be familiar with looping or multi-age programs. In these programs, students stay with the same teacher for two years. This provides great benefits to students, families and teachers. Families are already familiar with the teacher's system of communication, grading, homework and teaching style. Students know what to expect from their teacher and know the rules and procedures for the classroom.
Teachers know the student's learning style, level of achievement and performance.
This benefits everyone at the start of a new year. Students and teachers take off where they left off at the end of the previous year and little time is spent reviewing and getting to know each other. Several of our teachers have already implemented this program and we are happy to announce that our second and third grade teams have opted for this program for the coming school year. Second grade teachers will loop up with their current class to third grade. We hope to add more of these programs over the next five years at Carver.
