[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lowell does and uses several of the strategies described above starting in 4th.  GDS does also.  The one on one that the PP describes about Holton is interesting.  [/quote]

The 1 on 1 has to be initiated by either the teacher, student, parent or other teacher.  It isn't like each child gets 1 on 1 with the teacher every week.  They are in a class setting of about 15-17 girls learning study skills and time managment.  If they want to see the teacher separately (or a parent or other teacher would think it may benefit the girl) then they start meeting every so often to do more in depth "where are you going wrong?" type of personal approach.  There is also a guidance class once a week too that helps with self esteem, stress, etc...   They also have advisory groups (1 teacher and 6-8 girls) that meet twice a week for 15-20min to talk about life, things that are happening, support each other. The advisory groups also decorate each other's lockers for birthdays.   I really think it preps them for not only all the work they are going to receive now until college but also makes the girls understand each other's differences; we aren't all alike and that is okay kinda thing.   I think it would be tough to do the more personal stuff in a co-ed school but it really works here and is such a positive thing. They do everything they can to make middle school less awkward than it normally can be.  [/quote]
