It's been so interesting to see what the teachers at Kipp use for their reading classes - leveled books, Reading a-z, etc. I haven't asked what math program they use, or what programs they use for their special ed. classes, or even do they have self-contained special ed. classes? If I get the chance, I'll try to ask someone today. And it's been interesting and helpful to hear about all the various programs my fellow volunteers use in their schools. I remember 20+ years ago when I first started teaching, there wasn't so much out there. We've come a long way, in terms of helpful programs and support for teachers in the classroom.
One thing I disagree with here at Kipp is apparently they don't recycle! They go through a ton of laminating materials and paper, so they use a lot of resources. I think all schools, because we are such consumers of resources, should be recycling on a daily basis.
What an interesting experience this has been...
Each summer individuals will travel to help schools prepare for the upcoming school year. The team will share their experiences through this blog. This blog also includes stories of previous trips to various schools in NOLA. Enjoy learning about the wonderful work we do each year with our partner schools.
