Resumo: The Hosting organization is a small private school with a self-directed learning focus of about 35 children, their ages are between 6-17 years old. The children have the possibility to be free and to independently choose their direction with accordance to their own development plan. In our school there are no evaluations, no grades, and no reports. The school does not have the typical teaching sessions, as defined from the expected teacher goals.
The activities of the children in our school, are based in the principle of fulfilling their own self chosen tasks and goals. This happens with the younger students mostly while freely playing and with the direct implementation of their current needs. During the school time these activities change and therefore the wish arises for a more structured time so that they can reach their goals with our guided support, and with the necessary reflections together of what is needed for their success. This process is moving accordingly to the child’s speed and individual plan. The students are attended by three teachers with their main function of observing the children in their activities and making a picture of their development. They are present in the background and help only when the children ask for their help.In the afternoon the teachers have team meetings or talks with the parents and reflect on the daily activities, which interventions where necessary or if any observed changes in the child’s development have occurred.
Instead of classrooms and teachings we have a ‘prepared environment’. This means that different activities are structured according to their topics in prepared rooms which the children can choose accordingly. There the role of the teacher is that the function of each room stays clear and that they keep an ensured relaxed interconnection. This happens through rules and in accompanying the child when conflict arises and in the relationships with other children.
In our school there is a room for language and Mathematics, a room for creativity, a project room with textbooks, diverse materials and work tables, a kitchen, a room for movement, a workshop room, a role playing room, a music room, and a big garden with its own fire place and sand box.
