[quote=Anonymous]We have found that Seaton does have a growing population of advanced students. That being said- the teachers are on a learning curve with this population. Our DS is in First this year...and for better or worse.. I would call this group the first of the gentrifying cohorts. This type of population is different from the existing population- and there has been some adjustment to figure out how to meet the needs of that population while still meeting the needs of the existing population.

We have been very impressed with all the teachers, but like I said- they have not been dealing with as many advanced learners. They have room to grow in this area... and seem to be open to trying new things.... but it’s not a perfect system yet. For literacy...Reading groups based on level, different homework assignments, different in class reading prompts, different individual goals to work on, etc. For math, I have seen less obvious differences.

I have a feeling next year the first grade teachers will do better with these students because they will have had a year under their belt. And it will continue to improve going forward.[/quote]
