What is the tutorial approach?
The tutorial approach is the paradigm embraced by StoneBridge teachers through which they regard and supervise the learning of each individual student. The teacher recognizes the learning style and needs of every student in the class, and keeps each one on his or her learning threshold giving encouragement through remedial help or enrichment as needed. Classes operate on schedules that make it possible for teachers to regroup students appropriately and to engage tutors as needed. The close dialogue between home and school keeps both the teacher and parent informed of learning success and creates a successful partnership. This partnership utilizes a communication tool called a weekly “goal sheet” which gives the parent the teacher’s lesson plan schedule, homework assignments, and grades from the previous week.
