How do you plan to address the needs of children who are further along than their peers and need extra challenge in a particular subject?
At MacLaren, we do not have differentiated learning during class time. We believe that learning is best done in the context of a community and the interplay of the strengths and weaknesses within the group of students. However, we do know that some children struggle in certain subjects while other children excel beyond their peers. To address these particular needs, one thing we have done is created a seventh hour to our school day to offer faculty-led tutoring for struggling students, challenge sessions for those who are well-ahead in a subject, and a general study hall for the rest of the student body to begin their homework assignments.
