How a family school works | Chalk

If a regular school does not work out, parents first of all think about the possibility of home schooling. But there is another alternative. Muscovite Anna Turchaninova, the mother of four children, became disillusioned with general educational institutions and opened a family school with friends. What a family school is, how it works and what to do to organize it, Turchaninova told Tatyana Dvornikova.

Anna Turchaninova was in her ninth month of pregnancy when her eldest son Alexander was kicked out of Chemistry Lyceum No. 1574 with a scandal. According to Anna, the decision to transfer her son was a mistake, but the school did not suit him very well either. nine0003

As a result, my son graduated from a humanitarian lyceum and entered a pedagogical university in order not to join the army. And Anna decided not to mess with public schools anymore.

How the oldest school in the world lives without lessons and rules

She says that at a certain moment she had the “age of conscious parenthood”: “After all, giving birth at 33 is not giving birth at 19. There was dissatisfaction with the social situation, its true purpose.” The words of the class teacher also touched: “We work on the principle of an institute — we give lectures to motivated students. You have to provide the motivation yourself.” nine0003

“Wow. Why then school at all? Lectures can also be watched on the Internet, ”Turchaninova thought. Then, Anna recalls, for the first time in a dispute with the school, she took the side of the child. And then there was a complete rethinking of the parental role in upbringing and education. Now she and her friends are doing a family ”Morning School”. All of them refused general educational institutions for their children.

How the family school works

Turchaninova’s two children, six-year-old Katya and four-year-old Petya, study at the school. In total, the project involves six families and ten children from four to seven years old – a mixed group, and this is one of the principles of education. Four seven-year-olds are enrolled in the first grade of a regular school for distance learning, they will take written assessments by mail twice a year. Invited teachers work with children, and parents jointly choose teachers and organize field events. nine0003

Children study math, reading, writing, nature, architecture, English, music, and laboratory work. A separate block is sports activities: swimming, dancing, skiing. Every Wednesday at the school there are excursion days, on Fridays there are additional one-time classes, for example, a literary studio and meetings with interesting people. The entire permanent teaching staff consists of five teachers. The school is open five days a week from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. In autumn, spring, summer – camps, July and August – holidays. nine0003

How it all started

The main reason for creating the school was logistical. “We started taking Katya to various classes from about a year ago. Interests became more and more – rhythm, dancing, manual creativity, swimming, music. Logistics became more complicated, it was not possible to take part in all the classes. In addition, art and music teachers confidently said that hard timing was not suitable for them, they needed to spend two or three hours with children for 20 minutes of concentrated attention. That is, it was necessary not to take them to specific classes, but to get into the right environment, within which careful approaches to learning are possible. Friends gathered around – parents of children of about the same age, and we decided to stir up something, ”says Turchaninova about the creation of the project. nine0003

Two years ago they opened a garden for half a day, found a teacher and began to invite teachers. The same group of children began to go on trainings and excursions

“We did not take the children somewhere, but together we made the right place, in our opinion. None of us made money on this, the school did not have and does not have a director, we throw off all costs in equal shares. We solve organizational issues by a majority of votes,” Anna explains the principles of interaction.

The next year, the “Morning School” unfolded for the whole day – everyone refused nannies. A permanent room was rented for classes, and there were more objects. nine0003

What is the main goal of the family school

“While solving various organizational problems of the school, we kept saying to ourselves: “For the same money, we could send the child to a good kindergarten or school, why do we need these difficulties?”, — recalls Turchaninov.

In the process of planning the program, the participants of the Morning School decided not to focus on established values. “We consistently brushed aside false targets. Getting a certificate? Yep, it’s easy to get. Obtaining a specific set of knowledge and skills? No, knowledge can now be googled in 30 seconds, and the list of required standards is always very controversial. Be happy? Yes, but how exactly can this be implemented within the school? nine0003

So far, according to Turchaninova, they have found only one more or less common goal – this is self-motivation and creativity of the child: “A person must have bright eyes, he must see different ways of learning, want to develop and be able to do it, he must want to create something new !

Many schools, according to Anna, call these goals their own, but in fact they are secondary or rather auxiliary to the main task. Passing the school program according to the Federal State Educational Standards, successfully passing the OGE and the Unified State Examination, entering a good institute. “But in fact, this is not all necessary, right? We all know examples of successful and happy losers, and today’s profession for only half of us is connected with the education received. And you have only one Monday morning – and you either study the multiplication table according to the program, or go to the park with a net. Because yesterday you watched a cartoon about butterflies, and you need to understand if we have such ones, ”explains Turchaninova. nine0003

Parents decided to create their own school when they came to the idea: in order to captivate a child with something, you must definitely get carried away yourself

“We are looking for, developing, growing, learning – and they are behind us. In addition, we are no longer ready to delegate the educational initiative and the formation of a value system to the state and professionals. We want to be at least qualified customers and co-executors. Therefore, the creation of family schools is a completely predictable response of mature, adequate parents to the endless, incomprehensible, multidirectional actions of the state to change the education system.” nine0003

How the classes go

All the teachers who were invited to the “Morning School” initially did not understand at all how to work with a group of different ages: after all, Petya is already reading with might and main, but Dasha is not yet. But, according to Turchaninova, two years of practice showed that such a problem does not exist: “Someone got involved in the lesson, and some did not, this is absolutely not related to skills. Olya, who cannot read, may be a more active member of the group than Varya, who reads well but does not want to study today. If the group size is no more than ten people, there is no problem.” nine0003

How schools are organized in Europe

Classes are focused on environmental and practical learning. Olga Pavlushchenko, a music teacher and founder of the School of Playing Plastic Music Making, became the flagship of the implementation of this technique.

Music is one of the central subjects at school, and in the lessons, according to Anna, children are primarily involved in the process, they play music. She lays them out and starts playing or humming a melody familiar to the children. Some children play it third, others pick it up on the xylophone, others knock, and someone just listens. There is collective music-making, where everyone does what he can. nine0003

Mathematics works in a similar way: children solve practical problems, learn combinatorics with beads, or try to divide a pie into several equal parts. Everyone finds their role in the process.

According to Turchaninova, a group of different ages, first of all, allows you to remove barriers and competition between children

“Any team, both adults and children, builds a certain hierarchy. A mixed-age group creates a natural hierarchy that reduces the intensity of tensions. There are older people in the group, and everyone agrees with this. They read, draw, write better. And there are younger ones who are taken care of by the older ones. We don’t have negative group dynamics,” says Anna. nine0003

An English lesson is an immersion in a language environment. The teacher speaks English with the children all day long, while at the lesson they cook borscht, clean up, sort out the beans, play loto, with animals or go for a walk. At first, the teacher was not sure about the correctness of such a program, a year later she was disappointed because the children did not know anything. But two months later, the whole group spoke up.

The family school also teaches architecture. They create layouts with their own hands, solve problems: for example, how to resettle a family of six people in one house

The logic of this technique is that tools are issued upon request. When children themselves are interested, they get a new object or solution in their hands. According to Turchaninova, the answers to those questions that do not yet exist in the child’s head are a waste of time and effort. However, the tools must be accessible. For example, in a chemistry lesson, you can make a candle and study the properties of wax, or lay out all the devices in front of children – everyone will show curiosity.

Why not home schooling

“We were already told from the other side of the barricades: ‘Yes, that’s right, you don’t have to go there, but why are you doing school again? For once, it became possible to give children a quality home education, but no, they are again engaged in collectivization. But we all work and cannot take care of children all day long. In addition, we believe in the role of a teacher and are not going to teach ourselves. And it is unrealistic to invite interesting teachers only to your child – either there is not enough money, or he will simply not be interested. Group dynamics are also very important. And, finally, we ourselves are interested in doing all this because we are friends, argue, burn, we have our own parental party, ”explains Turchaninova. nine0003

For some time there was no single program at the school — a team of parents simply invited teachers they were interested in and gave the green light

not to create a system of goals, tasks, evaluation of results at school, teachers choose the easiest way “to please”. Or they go in the direction of formal results, “which can be shown to parents.” It became clear that it was necessary to at least briefly and in general terms define the tasks and evaluate the results of the educational process. nine0003

Teaching methodology

The parent team developed the Agile teaching methodology. So, at school, they operate with small periods of two to three months – teachers, parents and children formulate tasks for this period. Teachers write common goals with accents for each child – for example, learn the alphabet: Katya – all, Pete – learn to distinguish between letters. Parents learn from their children what they are interested in learning, and also write tasks for their child. As a result, a sheet is obtained, divided into three parts: the tasks of the child, parent and teacher. Ideally, according to Turchaninova, part of the child should grow and make up an increasing percentage in setting goals. nine0003

Further, all tasks are discussed at the extended teachers’ council. Some tasks may be delayed or cancelled. Such a decision can be made by the task initiator on the basis of the recommendations received from the discussion.

Some questions about a particular child can be discussed in a narrow group: only teachers and parents, if they are not ready to discuss it publicly

The tasks left on the list form the basis of the program. At the same time, none of the teachers guarantees a specific result, since this is impossible with loyal methods. Yes, and it is not necessary, if we proceed from the goals of the school. The results of the period are evaluated by the dynamics of movement in given directions, but the most important thing is compliance with the overall goal. The school also regularly hosts meetings, trainings, and lectures for parents. nine0003

Learning outcomes

According to Anna, the main result is that children like it, parents are passionate, and teachers create. So, in June, at the last exhibition, children presented the architecture of different eras, placing their models of buildings on the timeline.

25 films about world architecture, art and design

During the existence of the school, several families left the project – the format requires daily inclusion, effort and time. Not everyone was ready for rich interaction between families. But the school is developing further and the organizers do not plan to expand it. It is the family format, in their opinion, that is an advantage. nine0003

Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tatarstan

July 29, 2019, Monday

Some schools have been recruiting classes for “effective “beginners” for the second year already. The experiment is not particularly advertised, but there is information for parents on the schools’ websites. they won’t enroll in a three-year class – you have to pass a selection. So, what is the difference between the “beginning” for three years instead of four? The main differences are in the first year of study. Students must complete the material of the first grade until December, and from January to May – the material of the second grade.

Irina Shapovalenko, Head of the Department of Developmental Psychology named after Professor L.F. Obukhova, Faculty of Educational Psychology, Moscow State Psychological and Pedagogical University, told RG: “The very idea of ​​shortened, accelerated education in elementary school does not reject me. There is a variability in the educational trajectory, parents can choose a three-year or four-year option. be useful three-year “starter”?0003

Most likely, these are children who are quite intellectually developed, as if they are quite capable of starting school according to their mental abilities, but having difficulties of various kinds. For example, a child is hyperactive, with difficulty concentrating. Or children are anxious, sensitive, vulnerable, having difficulty in communicating with their peers. Or children who are physically weak, often sick. They get a chance to spend extra time in kindergarten, to overcome some of their weaknesses in the freer atmosphere of preschool classes (especially since the period from 6 to 7 years is very important in terms of brain maturation). And then go to school on a three-year program. nine0003

In this case, their parents will be less worried that the smart, but having some difficulties, the child will “overstay”, be late compared to their peers . .. At the same time, the four-year primary school program has its advantages, which allow most children in a suitable pace, relying on their own strength to learn the necessary content. What worries me about the implementation of the three-year model, “reduced” or “accelerated” “beginning”? Have new programs been developed? Will it not turn out that the four-year program will be mechanically squeezed into three years? If some classes are moving to three years of study, then the school should have programs for both four and three years of study. You cannot just throw out some sections or cut time, the content of the training must be thought out and restructured. Yes, and textbooks must be brought into line with the new conditions, but has this been done? nine0003

Three pieces of advice from Irina Shapovalenko to parents of future first-graders:

1. Under no circumstances should you try to send your child to a three-year primary school program “for the sake of reducing time” or for reasons of prestige. If your child, according to teachers, is not ready to study for three years instead of the usual four, this does not mean at all that he will be less successful than others.

2. You should not waste your energy on coaching a child to successfully pass the entrance test at any cost – force him to learn numbers and letters, slip prescriptions. This can only hurt and push the child away from school, cause disgust for the very process of learning. nine0003

3. Please note that if a child already knows how to read, has numeracy skills, this does not mean that he is absolutely in order with “school maturity”. There is a concept of psychological readiness for school. The child must be positively disposed towards school, motivated for this important stage, perceive the teacher, accept the task, be able to get involved in the common work… For all children, this readiness is formed at different times, and not without the participation of interested and caring parents!

What do parents need to know about the three-year “primary school”?

With a three-year education, a foreign language for children will begin in the first year of study, and homework – too. While in ordinary classes there are no homework assignments in the first year of study, and a foreign language is taught only from the second year of study, in the second grade. If in the usual “start” the mandatory load is 21 hours, then in the accelerated – 23 hours.

December – April – independent diagnostics. Didn’t get diagnosed? As stated in the documents, “in case of unsatisfactory results of independent diagnostics or non-liquidation of academic debt within the time frame set by the school, the number of years for mastering the educational program may be increased to the figure approved in the standard.” What this will look like in practice is not clear. It turns out that a first-grader, apparently, should be transferred, say, from 1 A, who studies according to an accelerated program, to 1 B, if he goes according to the usual one. And if the whole parallel at school has switched to an “effective “starter”, go to another school? Or switch to individual or home schooling? What if, following the results of the diagnostics, 5-10 students had to be transferred to other classes? In 5 A there will be 25 students , and in 5 B – only 15? If a whole year is deducted from primary school, then fewer teachers are needed. Let it be 1-2-3 teachers, but they will have to be fired?

There are other questions. The main task of accelerated learning is to support motivated children who are very well prepared for school. Yes, there are children who read and write from the age of 4, know the basics of phonetics and know what a phraseological phrase is. But such units! Here are the reviews of parents about what is changing in the accelerated beginning: “copybooks and the alphabet are shrinking, increased homework”, “mathematics is galloping across Europe”, “since January the main thing is English and the multiplication table, and English textbooks are designed for those who already knows how to read and write decently and the study lasts not half a year, but a year. nine0003

What should a first-grader in an accelerated school know and be able to do by December? (example of diagnostic work of MCCS)?

Russian language

1. Mark words with a consonant sound at the beginning (berry, iris, nut, peony, ear) , pies) 3. Mark the line where all the words answer the question “what?”

– written, cook, kind – white, red, blush – pencils, toys, houses – colored, soft, school

Mathematics

1. Kolya had 5 books on the shelf and 7 books in the cupboard. How many books did Kolya have in total? 2. There were three apples, 7 sweets and 5 pears on the table. How many fruits were on the table? Write down the solution and the answer. 3. Look at the picture (there is a ruler with two segments marked with different colors). Which question needs to be subtracted to answer? Mark the correct answer. By how many centimeters is the length of the lower segment greater than the length of the upper segment? What is the length of the top section? What is the length of the two segments? How to find the length of each segment? nine0003

Reading

Read the text and do the tasks (there are eight of them)

During the break at the animal school, first-graders began to get acquainted.

Without getting into all the details…to sumit up…Pros: Tidy house, good food, gated community, small group – there were only 5 children while we were there. Cons: Very difficult to communicate with, disregards needs of parents, will use terms such as “difficult”/”crybabies” to describe the children, no backyard, open mon-thurs and closes at 4:30p. There were a couple parents that have been there for years. If you’re the type that is ok with never bringing up concerns and tip toeing around her diva personality, you might get along great with her! Good luck!…

Description:

Hello my name is Lilia! Here at Little Ones Daycare we offer childcare for infants as young as three months old, and for toddlers until they are ready for pre-school.
I have worked with kids for the past 15years, and have 10 years of daycare experience alone. I worked as an assistant at a daycare facility for many years before opening Little Ones Daycare.

Kids Castle

6783 Follette Street, Carlsbad, CA 92011

Starting at $450/wk

Description:

Kids Castle is a licensed family home daycare for children, aged 6 weeks old and up. Our school combines academic learning with structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment.
It has been an absolutejoy to have been working in this field for more than 20 years. In my years working as a preschool teacher at a well established center, I focused on getting to know each child individually in order to meet their needs best. I believe that it is in these tender years where children develop vital personal and social skills which they cultivate as they age. Giving them the time, care and attention they need and deserve is of utmost importance in helping them grow.
As the kids progress, we will engage in creative arts and crafts. In addition, I will be teaching them the alphabet and numbers. I also believe that teaching children etiquette is key in shaping their future, as well as it will help them learn how to play and socialize with other kids in a positive manner so they can best enjoy the bliss of childhood.

Can you give 10 stars instead of 5? I can’t write enough good things about Kids Castle. We found out about them on Tootris and signed up for a tour. Pictures on yelp can’t show you how adorable her set up isfor kids of different ages. Sayena makes our child amazing homemade food, keeps him incredibly happy and genuinely loves him. She has the magic to get him to eat celery, nap, and keep him looking clean while having fun. Sayena always sends photos and is easy to communicate with. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a tour….

Many of the parents had their children stay at my daycare until they went off to Pre-K! Those who became big brothers and sisters, also had their siblings join my daycare. 🙂
Additionally, I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce, member of the Better Business Bureau, and I am CPR certified. I have worked for two big companies and I even have a food handling certificate.

From age 3 months to kindergarten, Carlene is magnificent with “her” kids. At 4 1/2 – 5 years old, these children know their alphabet, simple add and subtract, the Pledge of Allegiance, their parents cellphones and where they live. These children are well above their age level. It’s a shame they go from this environment into Kindergarten, where most of their fellow students can barely color between the line. Great Place to start your children off….
