The Process

In an initial consultation, I meet with the parent(s) and student to do an informal skill/knowledge evaluation. This first visit is an opportunity for parents and students to observe and experience me and my approach to relationships, the subject matter, and learning.

1

We start with a quick reminder of the previous session, a thorough overview of the assignment at hand and we estimate how much we'll be able to accomplish during our time together.

2

For all sessions, I keep my Apple laptop and iPhone available for academic support and supplemental research. We use a printer to get a hands-on hard-copy for shared reading strategies, editing, and note taking. We also have the option of printing out a copy of a completed report or project at the end of a session.

3

I ask essential questions related to content/lesson (adhering to state standards). I allow time for us to reflect. I listen. And I observe, track and follow the student's thinking as we move through the lesson.
