At EXCELLENT Academy of Learning, we believe
Education is the most powerful [tool] which you use to change the world."
— Nelson Mandela
Every single teacher in every single class with every single student…
and builds a positive relationship to optimize learning.
to ensure our student knows we believe in them, mistakes are opportunities for learning.
because we believe in each and every one of our students.
that is relevant, applicable and results oriented, because we're here to show our students how they can grow.
| At EXCELLENT Academy… | At the "Other" Center they… |
|---|---|
| hire only certified teachers or teacher candidates who know what they're doing. | hire anyone interested in teachers but might not have the professional training. |
| conduct diagnostic assessments with real teachers that identify specific student needs and turning goals based on this curriculum for that age. | conduct diagnostic assessments with computer programs that identify what your child should be learning and doing. |
| develop ongoing wellness because our professionally-trained teachers that respond directly to the learning challenges your child is experiencing. | present repetitive, parents and low bar work to keep your child busy without addressing the specific learning challenges they're confronting. |
| offer the option of small group classes with candidates who do one-on-one with the teacher to ensure all families have attainable option to learning. | offer small group classes at unreasonably priced fees which make education and learning inaccessible to many families. |
| conduct ongoing assessments multiple times a term to ensure we're keeping track of each student's progress and learning needs. | provide students with sheets and sheets of work without assessing their learning and checking for progress. |
| send home point report cards after each assessment to ensure parents are informed on the outcome of assessments and student progress. | don't have report cards or formalized reporting tools as an option. |
| see parents and caregivers as members of our student success team so we can work together to support children at home and in class. | place the responsibility of learning solely on the teacher who may not be trained or equipped to provide the support needed. |
| provide and mark the homework we send home with students to ensure they understand what is being taught. | might send home practice work, but marking it and checking on the needs seen as it is questionable. |
| keep our parents and caregivers informed on the growth and development of their children via email, SMS, in-person and online face to face meetings and ongoing check-ins. | connect with parents and caregivers if possible or needed but don't have a pre-set system of communication. |
