Eduprofile
We have created a survey that will help us determine your child’s educational profile as well as your family’s educational goals and practical concerns. More specifically, the survey asks questions about your child’s basic learning capacity, skill development, learning styles, motivation to learn, social temperament and disabilities. In addition, the questionnaire asks parents about the importance of various school characteristics (e.g., educational approach, <a class="lexicon-term" href="/?q=glossary/teaching-methods" title="Schools emphasize different approaches to teaching. At one end of the spectrum is teacher-directed instruction in which teachers are the experts and build children’s skills through lectures, reading, and demonstrations. At the other end of the spectrum, the teacher is a coach emphasizing self-discovery by providing students with the appropriate goals, materials and some direction that allows children to learn for themselves. Of course, there are a number of schools which incorporate both of these techniques. Depending on your child’s motivational and learning styles, one approach may be more preferable than the other.">teaching methods, classroom behavior management approach, school community) as well as any practical considerations that are important, including the school’s type, location, schedule, transportation, and cost. Once we have reviewed the survey results, we will send you information about your child’s educational profile as well as a list of schools that we think will meet your child’s and family’s needs.
