3.31Finding the right elementary school🏫

Finding the Right Elementary School #1 Engaged kids. Lots of schools will let you inside a class or two but try to peek into as many as you can. Look at kids’ faces. Do they look like this, or this? Don’t judge too quickly but if you see a few classes where half the kids look bored or disengaged, beware. Good teachers engage their students most of the time. #2 Look for high expectations. And I mean, everywhere. For instance, GreatSchools says that non-fiction writing can tell you tons about a school’s academic expectations. They say you should look for example of fourth or fifth grade writing or ask for sample if you have to. And while we’re on the subject of high expectation, check out the bathrooms. Good schools will have high expectations for students, teachers, even the custodian. So look at the hallways and the cafeterias too. #3 Look for positive school climate. Be sure to check out recess, it can tell you a lot about the school climate. How do people treat each other. Look for the bad and the good. 找到合适的小学 1. 孩子们很投入。很多学校会让你进入一两个班级，但你要尽可能多地偷偷看。看看孩子们的面部表情。它们是这样的，还是这样的?不要急于下结论，但如果你看到一些班级有一半的孩子看起来很无聊或心不在焉，那就要小心了。好老师大部分时间都能调动学生们的积极性。 2. 寻找高要求。我是说，方方面面。例如，GreatSchools 网站上说写实作文可以告诉你一所学校的教学目标。他们说，你应该找四年级或五年级学生写的文章，如果有必要的话，也可以索要样本。当我们谈到高期望的话题时，看看厕所吧。好的学校会对学生，老师，甚至管理员有很高的要求。所以也看看走廊和自助餐厅。 3. 寻找积极的学校氛围。一定要看看课间休息，它可以告诉你很多关于学校的氛围。看看人们是如何对待彼此的，看看好的方面和坏的方面。
