[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can any CM parents comment on the experience or lack thereof of the teachers?  It seems that the majority of the teachers do not have more than three to five years of experience.  This is in stark contrast to the DCPS schools that I toured (Eaton and Hearst) that seem to have more teachers with longer years in service.  This concerns me because often younger teachers are not so good at handling differences.[/quote]

I only have direct experience so far with PS and PK teachers, but I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and commitment of the teachers. It's an interesting question regarding whether having less teaching experience is correllated to not handling differences well. I haven't seen that, given that CM is very focused on individual children's needs and the different ways that children learn. I'm also thinking that younger teachers are actually more likey to have engaged these issues in their undergrad and grad school education classes that now offer that coursework as part of the standard curriculum. I've also heard of many examples of teachers (not at CM) who don't handle difference well (particularly regardling AA boys) and none of them were young or inexperienced. [/quote]
