Blended Preschool, Bilingual Learning School in Alexandria, VA

The Perfect Place Where Your Children Can Learn to Write and Speak Spanish in a Nurturing Environment


Our Mission

Our mission at Luca’s Rainbow is to provide young children (2 – 6 years old) with opportunities to learn and grow in a safe and nurturing bilingual environment.


Our Vision

Our vision is to create a safe and supportive atmosphere that will encourage each child to develop physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively in a bilingual environment.


Our Approach

Our low teacher-to-student ratio allows us to focus on each child individually. Teachers work one-on-one with students, allowing them to learn and grow at their own pace.

At Luca’s Rainbow Bilingual Preschool, our educational model is truly unique. We use a blended learning approach – combining Montessori pedagogy with a Creative Curriculum – while teaching our children in English and Spanish to enhance their understanding of the world.

Studies have shown that blended learning, used in many classrooms across the country today, can be an engaging and effective teaching approach for students from diverse backgrounds – including English learners and students with learning challenges who benefit from having the material presented in a variety of ways. This is why, at Luca’s Rainbow, we have designed a curriculum to meet the children’s individual needs and goals.

With Belarusian potatoes and dishes from the oven. Lukashenka dined with officials and scientists at his home in Alexandria

June 20, Shklovsky district / Corr. BELTA/. On the morning of June 20, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, as part of a working trip, got acquainted with the cultivation of winter barley and rapeseed in the well-known experimental presidential fields in his small homeland near the agro-town of Alexandria, Shklovsky district. Communication with officials and scientists continued during a working lunch, BelTA has learned.

The head of state invited guests to his home in Alexandria. On the table – exclusively local products produced in JSC “Alexandriyskoye”, dishes cooked according to traditional recipes in a rustic oven.

Considering the hot weather, a working lunch was organized outside in the pavilion.

As BelTA reported, upon arrival at the field, where different varieties of winter barley were sown as an experiment, the head of state stressed that today is a historic and turning point in agriculture. The President noted that he grew up in these places at the junction of the Mogilev and Vitebsk regions and here he will test various new approaches in agriculture. “So the President’s field has become. Today is a historic moment. If someone thinks that we met here in order to once again talk and show off, experts will understand that this is not so,” he said.

The President recalled that last year he took a risk to raise the issue of winter barley cultivation very harshly. It is harvested before other grain crops. This allows you to quickly and earlier receive feed for livestock, more evenly use and run equipment before mass harvesting.

“In order for us not to sweat, as always, on grain crops, I think that we need to return to a more serious cultivation of winter barley. I was worried last year, when I made a tough decision, one thing: will we be able to get not just productivity. We need high-quality, good grain. If we get 10 million tons, we will be happy. On these sown areas, without reducing the volume of rapeseed and others. That is, through intensive farming,” the President said.

What kind of miracle barley that Lukashenka was talking about? Opinion of experts and practitioners

“This year has shown that winter barley is a miracle. I have never seen such fields of winter barley, firstly. the third time. When it was sown, I looked when there were seedlings, and now, at the moment of grain filling. I am unequivocally convinced that there will be winter barley,” the Belarusian leader stressed.

Another topic of the working trip is the cultivation of rapeseed. Alexander Lukashenko also stressed the great importance of this crop for agriculture, and this is money for the villagers.

“This should change agriculture. Therefore, there will be winter barley and there will be rapeseed,” the President said. Standard” hygiene for a child (postpartum department)

Kindergarten “Shatlyk” is 10 years old!

Zilya Fattakhova, head of physical education:

– My passion for sports played a role in choosing my profession – I liked skiing, went to gymnastics and judo clubs. After graduating from the physical education department of the Pedagogical College in Kumertau, she entered the Belarusian State Pedagogical University in the same direction. Now every day I meet children in the gym. Here we do morning exercises, conduct physical education classes, sports games, competitions with parents, gymnastics, checkers and judo clubs. We have a new direction for children 5-6 years old – cheerleading. (Reference: this is not just a type of dance, but a sports direction. It combines the performance of dance, gymnastic elements and acrobatic stunts). In December of the outgoing year, our pupils performed at the Open Cheerleading Festival in Ufa, where they won first place. In judo, children actively participate in tournaments, where they become both winners and prize-winners. Such successes and victories cannot please. It is important that the result of our activities is that children are active and interested in sports. I think that in work you don’t need to stop there, you need to constantly grow, invest a piece of your soul, and then it will be possible to achieve high results. nine0005

Alfiya Sultanova , educational psychologist:

– As a psychologist, I work with children with mental disabilities and without any disorders, as well as with gifted children. Our garden is visited by ten special children. Working with them is very responsible.

This year about fifty children came to kindergarten for the first time. I help them quickly adapt to our conditions. I start every working day with a round of the first junior groups. I watch them, play, advise parents. Preparing for schooling is another task of a psychologist. For this, a circle “Soon to school” is being conducted. The main task of the teacher-psychologist is to make the child’s life in kindergarten comfortable for the child’s psyche and the individual characteristics of its development. nine0005

Lilia Ryskulova, educator of the “Luboznayki” group:

– I have been working as a teacher in the Shatlyk kindergarten since 2013. Prior to that, after graduating from Magnitogorsk State University with a degree in Russian Language and Literature, she worked at a school for five years. The experience gained at school was also useful in working with preschool children. Since I immediately started working as an educator in the preparatory group, where the children were already with emerging character and habits.

The work of an educator is everyday painstaking work that requires a lot of love, patience and strength in order to surround more than twenty kids with care, tenderness, affection and attention at once. In the course of work in the desk, she underwent professional retraining at the branch of the Belarusian State University in Sibay. nine0005

Over the years of work, she was awarded the Gratitude of the Department of Education of the municipal district for active creative work within the framework of the regional innovation platform “Designing as a condition for the formation of the foundations of engineering thinking in preschool children”, a Certificate of Honor from the Presidium of the Bashkir Republican Organization of the Trade Union of Education for social work in the primary trade union organization .

My main method in teaching, developing and raising children is play. After all, through play activities, many positive qualities of the child are formed, interest and readiness for the upcoming study, his cognitive abilities develop. Play is important both in preparing the child for the future and in making his present life full and happy. For ten years of work as an educator, she has accumulated rich practical experience, received the highest qualification category, and graduated two preparatory groups for school. nine0005

Gulnara Singizova , teacher of the Karlugas group:

– I have more than twenty years of work as a teacher in a kindergarten behind my back. In the fall of 2012, when they were hired, the construction of the garden was still ongoing. Before my eyes, the building was changing, growing. I myself come from the village of Uruzbaevo. In 1998, after graduating from the Sibay branch of the Belarusian State Pedagogical University, the Department of Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology, she gained her first experience in raising children at the Zilair correctional boarding school. Then she worked as a teacher-psychologist in a kindergarten in the village of Yuldybaevo, Zilair district, and as an educator in Buribai. I consider my mother Gul Gainislamovna, a primary school teacher in the village of Uruzbayevo, to be my mentor and inspiration. She instilled in me a love for children, to give them joy. And with great pleasure I bring it to life, while teaching my children this feeling. The child is the most important value in my activity. And, as a teacher, I am responsible for ensuring that this child becomes a person, so that he finds out who he is, understands what his capabilities are, what he knows, what he wants. nine0005

I am in constant creative search. After all, only a creative teacher can inspire with his warmth, faith, talent. She took part in the creation of the methodological manual of our kindergarten “We design while playing.”

Gulira Fayzullina , teacher of the Sulpylar group:

– Born and raised in the village of Galiahmetovo in the Ultrakov family. After graduating from the Pedagogical College in Kumertau, specializing as an educator of a preschool educational institution, the right to teach rhythm and choreography. She began her teaching career in the Buribaevsky kindergarten. I myself did not go to kindergarten as a child, but here I began to master the profession of an educator in practice. I have been working with children for twenty years, 10 of them in our Shatlyk kindergarten. Most of all, I remember that for the first time they gave me the largest children of the preparatory group and they created a pedagogical situation for me. Here our experienced teachers came to my aid. I was almost always accompanied by the strongest, most creative teachers of our preschool education, namely Antonina Ivanovna Baiko, my first teacher, you can say a mentor, Rima Rashitovna Sharafutdinova, Guldar Rashitovna Gorbunova, Svetlana Ansarovna Khismatullina. nine0005

In order to become an educator, you must first of all love people and, of course, children. Since our work involves communication with both children and parents. Today, children born in the information society, free, demanding respect for themselves, that is, modern children respond to respect for them and their problems. Children need to be understood. The best way to get to know children is to communicate with them as much as possible, understand their actions, listen to children’s problems and find joint solutions to the situation, which is what we do as part of our pedagogical activities. nine0005

Summarizing my thoughts, I would like to note that one should not educate children, but cooperate with them, remembering that each child is inimitable and unique.

Aliya Gabitova, young educator of the Malyutki group:

– She was born in the Baimaksky district in the village of Nizhnetagirovo. She studied in her native village until the ninth grade. After successfully graduating from school, in 2016 she entered the Sibai Pedagogical College for the specialty “Educator of preschool children. ” I studied with great desire, and in 2020 I graduated and received a diploma of an educator. Without thinking twice, I immediately got a job in the kindergarten “Shatlyk” in the village of Akyar. For more than two years now I have been working only for pleasure. I do not regret that I connected my life with children. nine0005

Every new day is the discovery of new knowledge. Discussing something new with children every day could only be a dream. Not everyone can be a teacher. I see only joy and a sea of ​​smiles while working with children, I hear so many compliments, kind words, words of gratitude from parents. I think that every day with children is a performance of some kind, and only the educator shows this premiere colorfully, brightly, for pleasure throughout life.

And every young specialist, not only an educator, but also professions in various industries, needs mentors. I was lucky to work alongside educators who have many years of work in the field of preschool education behind them. These are Vinera Lukmanovna Baichurina, Aigul Gumerovna Baigabulova, Gulnara Shafkatovna Singizova, Albina Akhatovna Bulatova. They supported me in difficult times, taught me how to communicate with children, how to be in other situations, shared their knowledge gained in life, gave advice. nine0005

Elvira Bikbova , junior teacher:

– After studying at the school in the village of Baiguskarovo, she entered the Sibai Pedagogical College. I have been working as a junior teacher since the opening of the kindergarten, before that – at school. I chose this profession because I love children. It is easier and more interesting with children, although the responsibility is very big. I did not experience any difficulties in mastering this profession, as I had experience working with children. You need to love children and be a little child yourself, probably, and you also need to be responsible and patient. Modern children are smart, developed, advanced. nine0005

Yuliya Baktybayeva , junior teacher:

– I myself am a mother of many children, so I love children. For ten years she took courses on the Federal State Educational Standard. Each child is individual, and each of them can find a common language. In ten years of work, she released two groups. Sometimes I meet my graduates, it’s nice that they recognize me on the street, in the store, say hello, ask how I’m doing.

Svetlana Yakovleva , junior teacher:

– In the group, together with the children, we study everything that interests them, I like to read fairy tales to them. During free activities, we prompt, help in difficult situations when the guys find it difficult. The teacher should be friendly, sociable, creative. We can be characters during classes, play the role of negative or positive characters. Together with the children, at the sites fixed by the group, we hold mini-subbotniks, teach children to order, work, water indoor plants, wipe the dust. In the summer we plant flowers, water them. In winter, we clear the site from snow. We take an active part in regional events, sports days, passed the TRP. Particular attention is paid to the organization of planting a vegetable garden “Training and Experimental Site”. On it, we conduct experiments and research with children, tell how to grow vegetables, plants and take care of them. nine0005

Albina Tantsykuzhina , parent:

– We started going to the Shatlyk kindergarten from its opening. The eldest son Almir first went to kindergarten in the village of Sadovy, as there were no places in our two kindergartens. And when the third kindergarten opened, they gave us a ticket there. The eldest son and daughter Radmila are already kindergarten graduates. They had very good teachers. Now three younger children go to kindergarten – Nurislam (Akbuzat group, Z.M. Turumtaeva), Dinislam (Luboznayki group, L.F. Ryskulova) and Islam (Baby group, A.A. Bulatova) . We really like the kindergarten, the children go with pleasure. Even the youngest got used to it very quickly. It seems to me that it also depends on the teachers. Our teachers are excellent, the nannies – Svetlana Yakovleva, Laysan Azatovna, Fania Faritovna – are a miracle. They know how to find an approach to each child, they give all the warmth and care to our children. I can say that my children are lucky to have such teachers. nine0005

N. Arslanova , 6 years old:

– I like everything in the kindergarten – to attend classes, go to music, English, mental arithmetic, rhythmoplasty clubs. I love to sing, dance, play with friends. When I grow up, I want to be a teacher like my mother. I think that a good teacher should be kind and patient, and also fair, most importantly, love children. I dream that everyone is happy and no one gets sick.

Z. Kudabayeva , 6 years old:

– In kindergarten, during all this time I learned to read, write, sing, dance and draw. Our teacher is always kind, patient, helps us in everything. I also want to be like her. I love to play and take care of animals. I have a dog and a cat at home. If there were an aquarium and a hamster in the garden, my friends and I would watch them.

L. Abdullina , 5 years old:

– My favorite activities in the garden are mathematics and rhythmoplasty. Of the holidays, I like the New Year, because we get gifts and a lot of sweets. The most delicious food here is semolina porridge. I would also add borscht to the menu. At home, my sister and I play school or kindergarten, so when I grow up, I dream of becoming a teacher or educator. The teacher of our group is kind and good. nine0005

Kindergarten “Shatlyk” is 10 years old!

I taught someone else’s child a lesson, because at least someone should be involved in raising impudent children

I immediately had a premonition that my daughter would not be easy at school. When she had not even started going to kindergarten, the first bells had already begun. Maybe someone will say that children are just children, but I believe that children are, first of all, a reflection of their parents.

If a child has parents with a flying cuckoo, then it is unlikely that their child will grow up as an exemplary person. When my daughter just started to walk more or less confidently, and we began to get out to the nearest playground from home, only then did I myself come face to face with modern kids. nine0005

Before, somehow, everything was from afar, if only with friends and their children. And then they came face to face. What I just did not see! And how mothers allow their, not quite babies, to relieve themselves right in the sand, in which they themselves have just been poking around with scoops.

And how they fight for the swing, as if their life depends on it. There was a case when three girls of four years old ran into my baby, she was then only a year and a half old, and began to poke her fingers at her, shouting:

nine0005

“Who is this? Who is this? Is this a baby?” Moreover, at that moment I was holding my daughter by the hand, and I almost tore off these fingers of the girls. But the daughter since then began to avoid children.

No, it’s not that she was afraid of them, but when someone new came to the site, she preferred to go aside and watch from the side for some time. Apparently she was analyzing whether it was dangerous to be around this type.

But the parents of such children have always amazed me the most. They bring the child to the playground, immediately flopping down on the nearest bench and poking at the smartphone. And that’s it, they are no longer here.

nine0005

When it was time for my daughter to go to kindergarten, I already had a rough idea of ​​who we would have to deal with there. The time that the daughter spent in kindergarten was not rosy. But there the children were younger and their jokes were harmless.

Then my daughter went to school. My daughter is a calm, quiet child. From childhood, he understands when it is possible to rage, and when it is inappropriate. She was interested in school. I started walking with enthusiasm.

I liked learning something new every day. On the way home from school, she excitedly told how much she liked it there. So my daughter studied until the fourth grade. There were no serious conflicts with her.

nine0005

If there were any excesses in the kindergarten, I had to contact both the teacher and the offender’s parents, then everything was calm. But this year, the daughter began to complain that one of her classmates began to cling to her.

Apparently, the kids got older and began to assert themselves at the expense of others. I usually give my daughter either a pita roll or a sandwich for a snack. And then one of my classmates got into the habit of taking this snack from her daughter!

And, as I understand it, she does not ask to share or treat her. She just runs up, grabs and takes off into the distance. My daughter is not thirsty. She has friends in the class. Usually I also give her some crackers or cookies with me, especially so that she can share.

nine0005

Of course, if she wants to. But not the same! I explained to my daughter that I needed to talk to this girl, offer her a cookie or a candy. I was wondering if you have some kind of conflict?

Tried to find out why she was behaving this way. The daughter tried several times to talk to her offender, but to no avail. Seeing how my blood is going through, I was a little tormented by my conscience, but I decided to teach the girl a lesson.

The next day, as usual, I made a small roll of pita bread for my daughter. Only besides cucumbers, ham and lettuce, I generously smeared everything with wasabi sauce. It’s been lying around in my fridge for a long time.

nine0005

The daughter, of course, warned her not to eat this infernal mixture herself. And that’s it! How the grandmother whispered! A classmate no longer takes away her daughter’s lunches. My friend told me that she even cried afterwards.

But I think it was the hot sauce tears. Well, certainly not remorse! Maybe this is a mean act on my part, but I think that I did everything right.

If parents are not honored to teach their child not to take someone else’s, then someone else will do it for them.

If you don’t get your hands on it, but you really need to find out information about the city,

Attractions by region

North America

North America is one of the two continents of America, named in
honor of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, with a square
surface area 24,221,490 km² (9,351,969 sq mi). It’s in the north
hemisphere, between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, north of the South
America. The highest point in North America – Denali in Alaska, height
which reaches 6 194 m (20,320 ft) above sea level.

Europe

Europe covers an area of ​​10,180,000 km² (3,930,000
square miles), stretching from Asia to the Atlantic and from the Mediterranean
seas to the Arctic. European countries annually receive more than 480
million foreign visitors, which is more than half
global market, and 7 of the 10 most visited countries are
European countries.

It’s easy to see why: well-preserved
cultural heritage, open borders and efficient infrastructure
make visiting Europe easy and rarely do you have to travel
more than a few hours before you can dive into a new
culture and immerse yourself in another phrase book. Although it is the smallest
continent in the world in terms of land area, there are profound differences between
cultures and ways of life in his countries.

Asia

Asia is too vast and varied to be
regarded as a single digestible tourist “destination”.
It is difficult even to determine the boundaries of this continent – from the mountains around the Black
seas in the west to the snowfields of Siberia in the north, in Asia there are more people and
cities than outside.

The highest point in the world, mountain
Everest, located in Asia along the border of Tibet and Nepal at an altitude of 8848
m (29,028 feet) above sea level. Everest is mostly accessible
through Kathmandu. Its lowest point is the Dead Sea, located at
meeting points of Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jordan, the surface
which is located 400 meters (1312 feet) below sea level. The most
Asia’s longest river is the Yangtze, which flows through China for 6,300 km (3
915 miles) from the high Tibetan plateau to Shanghai. His biggest
lake – the Caspian Sea with an area of ​​386,400 km² (149,200 sq mi),
which is surrounded by several countries of Central Asia.

Africa

Africa has 55 sovereign countries – more than any continent – and
it is the second largest continent both in terms of land area and
population. Africa is washed by the Mediterranean Sea in the north, the Atlantic
ocean to the west, the Red Sea to the northeast, and the Indian Ocean
in the southeast. Africa is a huge continent stretching over
than 8,000 km (5,000 miles) from north to south and 7,500 km (4,800 miles) from
east to west (not counting the islands), and includes many
peoples, skin colors, religions and cultures. Africa has the most
longest river in the world is the 6,650 km (4,100 mi) Nile River flowing from
Burundi to Egypt, and the Congo River in the DRC is the second largest river with
in terms of runoff, as well as the deepest one with a depth of more than 230 m ( 750
feet) in some places. Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the tallest
free-standing mountain in the world with a height of 5 890 m (19,340 ft). Lake
Assal in Djibouti is the second lowest point on Earth, the saltiest
a lake outside of Antarctica and one of the hottest places on Earth.

South America

Located between the Caribbean Sea, the South Pacific and
South Atlantic, South America is the wildest
from both the Americas and the continent in superlatives.

Most
the world’s largest rainforest and the largest river (Amazon), the most
high mountain range outside of Asia (Andes), outlying islands
(Galapagos, Easter Island and Fernando de Noronha), paradise
beaches (for example, in the northeastern region of Brazil), wide deserts.

Children’s early autonomy: implications for development

Children’s autonomy is a key concept in Montessori pedagogy. We talk about it all the time as the achievement of a child and an adult who strives to be useful to the child. And at a cursory glance, it may seem that the Montessori method is focused on early independence. But it is not so.

Mastering new skills occurs as the child is ready

In fact, we are not talking about early, but about timely development, about the fact that as many achievements as possible occur as the child is ready.

In some tribes, mothers carry their children in a sling for the first two years and do not put them on the ground at all. In such a situation, children begin to walk not at about a year old, as they could for internal reasons, but at two years old – if possible, imposed from outside.

Where this custom exists, it makes sense: there are many poisonous snakes and insects on the ground. Grown up children can be taught to avoid them, but you probably can’t explain to a nine-month-old baby that this bright thing is bright because it is poisonous, and you need to stay away from it. If children are not allowed to learn to walk even longer, then they will not learn to walk at all, because the window of opportunity to master this skill closes over time. So there was a compromise option, in which children are lowered to the ground at two years old.

Such shyness can be found in every culture. For example, at the age of 7–8, the aforementioned Aboriginal children already move independently over a large territory, hunt or graze cattle on an equal basis with adults, and somehow do not get lost either in the forest or in the savannah. The acquisition of this competence comes in proportion to the internal readiness. In a metropolis, we accompany a child even for short distances up to 12-14 years old, protecting him from the danger of being kidnapped or hit by a car. And in this we hinder the children of our culture with an external obstacle.

But if we are not talking about safety, then it is useful not to slow down the process from the outside, but, on the contrary, to help ensure that the speed of child development is regulated by the child’s capabilities, and not by limits set from outside.

If we create such a situation for everything, in which every new step rests on the child himself, then he will learn everything no earlier and no later than he is ready. Why is this timeliness valuable? Because the quality of any new acquisition is directly related to it. The more at the wrong time we teach, the worse the child learns. And being late in this matter is just as harmful as starting too early.

A child easily adopts skills, imitating adults

Well, okay, the parents agree. We understood this idea of ​​timeliness. We are educated people, you can’t even scare us with the words “sensitive period”. Children should have a childhood, let them play, not work, we can afford it. Let’s give the kids educational toys, colorful, developed by psychologists, and leave the boring homework to ourselves.

But here’s the trick: the baby is new to our affairs, he does not see them as a burdensome routine at all. On the contrary, he yearns to the best of his understanding to repeat after us. How to become an adult? Pretend, copy, merge into what someone who already knows how to do until you become the same.

Inclusion, communication and imitation are the basis of development. And in what role does a child see an adult first of all? Of course, in the role of a parent who takes care of a helpless baby, cares for him, changes clothes and washes. Yes, she still feeds, but breastfeeding is difficult for a baby to reproduce. But when complementary foods are added to this method, then independent food in the manner of an adult becomes a desirable pastime.

In order to avoid whims at the table in the future, it is enough to allow the child to eat independently from the start of complementary foods

If you played with educational toys all day long, your baby would be most attracted to this. But you are busy with something else – and the baby wants to be where you are. The ability to repeat after an adult his way of being, and even to do this sacrament together creates a more mature emotional connection with an adult.

Gross and fine motor skills develop

Gross motor skills can be developed in a special sports corner. But if you do it only in it, someday you will have to learn what helps you cope with ordinary everyday tasks. Not only is being on time better than being late. In general, the baby will have more work to do: not all the skills learned from the game in the sports complex are suitable for pulling on pants or deftly carrying objects without refinement. So you still have to spend time on mastering self-service skills.

Similarly, fine motor skills can be perfected by playing with wonderful toys. But this will not replace the need to try to hold a spoon, fork, knife yourself. Pour yourself a drink, fasten Velcro and buttons, handle flexible and thin fabric, and so on and so forth.

When pouring water, the child trains visual-motor coordination, he learns the accuracy of movements and accuracy

Speech develops

You can learn words that name objects, actions and qualities from cards and books. But replenishment of vocabulary through work with a picture is possible later than through work with an object – and thus we again slow down a person from the outside.

But that’s not even the point. Would you prefer to learn a new foreign language using cards in the form of separate words, or would it be more effective to talk on the topic, compose your own story with new vocabulary, accompany words with movements and real actions? Even though they are armed with the resource of an absorbing mind, it is also much easier for children to memorize a word from the experience of real communication and during real work. With their still very visual-effective thinking, this is how language recognition should occur.

The child learns the names of dishes faster by helping to cook, set the table, load and unload the dishwasher than if he learns objects from cards and books

The child learns to learn

from algorithms of varying degrees of length and complexity. It becomes practice-oriented training to keep a plan of action in mind and follow it. The kid starts with short algorithms: take a jug from a tray, pour water into a cup, put a jug, take a cup, bring it to his lips, tilt it, drink it, rinse it, put it in place next to the jug.

Gradually, he begins to cope with longer processes with ease. For example, open a container with pieces of fruit, put one by one on a cutting board, cut with a knife, holding it with a fork, take a canapé skewer, carefully string pieces of fruit in an arbitrary (you need to choose which one) order. Put the finished product in the container and put it on the table, wash the knife, fork, board after you. Put a new portion of fruit and a skewer, put it in place or continue working.

It is getting longer and longer to keep attention, more and more often it takes an effort of will to bring the matter to the end.

At first, the child only helps to put the laundry in the washing machine and close the door. And then he easily goes through the whole process on his own – he fills the powder, loads the laundry and turns on the desired program

Own mistakes are important for success. Of course, those mistakes that we have the opportunity not only to make, but also to comprehend and correct. In everyday affairs, if they are properly organized by adults, this is quite obvious. You either poured yourself a drink into a glass neatly, or spilled water and you can wipe it off. You either hit your trouser leg with each foot, or you don’t. You are either full after all the effort, or not, and so interested in continuing to act that nothing from outside motivates you.

Making, monitoring, and correcting mistakes is a fundamental mechanism by which people learn.

Early independence affects the development of a child’s personality

But all this is a matter of technique. Humanistic pedagogy is focused primarily on the individual, and not just training and development of knowledge, skills and abilities. And from this point of view it is impossible not to mention the paradox of early childhood.

A child in the first three years of life lays the foundations of his own personality. Forms an opinion about whether his efforts matter, whether they will lead to a result – although he still does not know how much. He creates an idea of ​​himself as successful or not very successful, active or passive, dexterous or clumsy – then, when he is still barely learning complex movements, he achieves success in what an adult has been able to do much better for a long time.

Positive self-attitude and adequate self-esteem appear in a person on the basis of introspection of what he is doing. And even in a year or two, the child perfectly sees the difference between “adult affairs” and “children’s toys”, and is proud of his contribution to the common cause. He is happy to be useful, pleased if he managed to correct a mistake or do better than before.

The pleasure that you get to know about life is not comparable in richness and depth with the satisfaction that you are gloriously oriented in your toys.

The child gets more joy from the fact that he himself put on shoes than from the next developmental

The life experience of the baby is still very specific and meaningfully consists of the life that surrounds him. So at an early age, that grated kalach who knows how to blow his nose and knows where his spare pants are. Yes, in our adult view, this is trifling wisdom. But the baby is precious.

The princes of the British crown, who, by tradition, are obliged to accept the help of other people in household trifles, are already in their second generation growing up in Montessori schools. They master domestic independence, take care of others and the environment of the class community. Their parents are right – even princes are very helped to develop self-esteem, self-confidence and their strengths.

What happens if a child is deprived of the opportunity to show independence at an early age

I have listed the advantages of everyday independence, but the opposite is also true: when it is not in the life of a child under three years old, problems arise.

The child didn’t learn to eat on his own when he wanted it so much in a year, he didn’t start helping you dress him, he couldn’t help you in the kitchen, he protested, and got used to the fact that it should be so. Then you would gladly let him do what he wants (although he succeeds for a long time and not immediately, but he has a lot of perseverance, if only you endured and did not start helping). And now – you persuade, scold, you yourself are tired of endless bickering.

After all, if I am a doll that is being fed and dressed, then I am bored. I throw away spoons, turn over plates, run from the table, and without cartoons or the family Du Soleil, I don’t agree to endure this tediousness. I howl and hide, sabotage dressing if I have a strong type of nervous system. I whine and withdraw into myself – if sensitive.

Where there could be pride in oneself, experience in solving problems – the habit of being capricious, whining, fighting, withdrawing. Where I could have a mother, with whom I talk about something common, interesting for us, I have a mother who is busy with the work of a nurse. Where I could hear gratitude, see joy, feel satisfaction – I hear “do not interfere”, I see discontent, I feel superfluous next to loved ones. And this is a very different experience that becomes my reality.

Of course, we are not talking about making you do everything yourself versus doing more for your child. These two positions are closer to each other than opposites. Speaking of functional independence, Montessori pedagogy says exactly that you give the child a way that is feasible for him to want to do what you do.

Children’s independence does not make life easier for adults, at least not immediately. Parents need to invest a lot of effort to help children become independent in everyday life – to carry out preparatory work on arranging the environment, adapt to the rhythm of the child, show and say the same actions many times. By supporting independence at an early age, we help not ourselves, but our children.

My Montessori Teaching Training for Children aged 3 to 6 – The Montessori Path

I wrote this article right after finishing my Montessori Teaching Diploma for 3-6 year olds in the summer of 2014 in order to capture my experience and my impressions in fresh footsteps. And now, after almost 2 years, I’m getting this article out of my bins and posting it on this site so that those who are still thinking about the possibility of taking Montessori training may draw a grain of inspiration and have the opportunity to put together a picture of what awaits them on this way.

At one time, when I was trying to figure out the intricacies of training Montessori teachers in the United States, I was faced with a huge vacuum in terms of information, and in order to understand which organization I should go with (AMI – Association Montessori Internationale or AMS (American Montessori Society ), and then which training center to choose, I had to work hard, try different paths, drive from one state to another, personally visit several training centers, in order to finally choose my future path with my heart. But even then, When I made my choice and when I moved to Portland before starting an AMI course at Montessori Northwest, I had no idea what was in store for me, so I hope this article will shed some light on the path of learning to be a Montessori teacher at AMI courses

I am overwhelmed with gratitude that my heart led me specifically to AMI courses and specifically to Montessori Northwest in Portland and specifically to the academic year program. Yes, it was a big decision that entailed a lot of changes: moving to another state, leaving work, huge reshuffles in financial affairs. But when, starting the course in September, you meet the same people who completely reshaped their lives to bring into their lives the opportunity to study at AMI teacher training courses, your heart overflows even more with admiration for the dedication and ardor that brought these 40 people from different corners of the country and even from other continents to this place, from which a new stage begins on the path of serving the child.

AMI training courses for Montessori teachers are called training, and this is no coincidence. Training involves active learning aimed at developing skills and abilities. As part of the training, not only knowledge is transferred from the trainer, but also in active practical work, the skills and abilities necessary for the profession are developed. Now, at the end of the 9-month training, I definitely understand that this word is the best way to describe this professional training for teachers. No amount of lectures listened to and books read could not provide what is required for real quality training as a Montessori teacher (lectures and reading books are an integral part of this, but in themselves insufficient).

So, I’ll tell you what the Montessori AMI training for the level of 3-6 years is like through the prism of my perception.

I’ll make a reservation right away that I can’t be absolutely sure that the construction of the course and its organization is identical in all AMI centers. Despite the fact that the International Montessori Association regulates and monitors the quality control and authenticity of Montessori teacher training centers, there is still a human factor: who is the trainer, what experience does he have, his understanding of the Montessori philosophy, outlook on life and much more that can bring its own flavor to his work. Therefore, everything I will tell you is my experience gained at Montessori Northwest and experienced by me personally and, of course, passed through my own prism of perception.

One of the distinguishing features of training at Montessori Northwest was that instead of one trainer, which is traditional for most AMI courses, we had two. Each with their rich experience, their history, their unique personality, they complemented and enriched each other so well. Ginni Sacket and Sarah Warner Andrews immersed us in the fundamentals of Montessori theory and practice and inspired us even more on the path we chose from day one.

Montessori Northwest has been in business since 1979 and offers a well-designed and functioning Montessori teacher training program. I, very demanding on the quality of education, watched with admiration how the center worked, how carefully and comprehensively the program was thought out, and what wonderful people who devoted themselves to serving children gathered there.

The course itself included a theoretical part (the study of Montessori philosophy and developmental characteristics of a child aged 3-6 years), the study of Mochtessori Materials and the practice of presentations, observation in a Montessori environment, pedagogical practice in a Montessori garden and exams.

Theoretical part

The theoretical part of the course includes the study of child development and the philosophical foundations of the Montessori system. Traditionally, in AMI Montessori teacher training courses, this knowledge was transmitted orally from Montessori trainers to students, and therefore there are no textbooks on the Montessori method in the AMI lineage. In other words, you can’t buy a textbook with information organized by topic and study everything on your own. Of course, you can study the literature collected on the basis of the lectures of Maria Montessori herself or the literature written by her son, Mario Montessori, but you will be forced to collect scattered fragments bit by bit in order to add up maybe 30-50% of what certified teachers give in their lectures. AMI coaches.

My “album” on Montessori theory

As part of the AMI Montessori training, students create their own teaching aids – the so-called “albums”, which further constitute reference material on their professional path after the end of the training.

A few years ago, and in some courses to this day, all lectures of the trainer are recorded by students by hand and form the basis for a theoretical album. Now, at least in Montessori Northwest, we were provided with printed theoretical lectures by our trainers. That is, we did not have to frantically write down what they told about Montessori theory, but we had fun and, in principle, had to give a lecture in advance and come to the lecture and discussion already prepared.

In order to ensure the quality of the study of the material, for each lecture we had to make notes and write our own reflections on the topic (essentially a mini-essay). All lectures, together with notes and reflections on the topic, after checking, went into our personal theoretical album, which seriously increased in size over time.

In addition to lectures, the study of Montessori philosophy passed through the reading of publications collected on the basis of the lectures of Maria Montessori herself. Once every two weeks, seminars were organized to discuss what we had read, where for the most part we worked in groups and then presented the developments and rethinking of the topic in the form of a poster or generalization in front of the entire group of students.

Thus, we were prepared not only to work in a team and discuss ideas, but also to publicly present our reflections and conclusions. Often our task was to tell everything as if we were facing people who knew nothing about Montessori. By the way, this is a very difficult task. We have all noted time and again how difficult it is for us, studying the theory of Montessori and absorbing the peculiar professional jargon, to express these ideas in conventional words! But this is so important: after all, we have to deal with parents, and indeed with people who are interested in what we do or who are interested in the upbringing and education of the child.

A great asset of the theoretical part of the course was the integration of Montessori philosophy and its discoveries about child development with modern research in the field of the brain and language. It was here that I first learned that modern scientists are coming to the same conclusion that Maria Montessori said about children over a hundred years ago. The desire of the Montessori movement to unite with the advanced minds of modern neuropsychology, child psychology, speech therapy, and linguistics has also become obvious, which has been successfully carried out in recent years. I have yet to delve deeper into the work of all these people whose names I have added to my list of books to read.

One of the students of the course presents her theoretical project

Another aspect of the study of Montessori theory was an individual theoretical project, for which we ourselves chose a topic of interest to us from the theory, studied it in depth in the primary sources of Maria Montessori and her followers, as well as in articles recognized by Montessori -magazines. This project was to be completed by the spring and presented either as a written paper (kind of like a term paper) or as an oral presentation.

Learning Montessori materials

The learning of materials took place in zones of the prepared Montessori environment: we started with oral language from the language zone, then moved on to practical life, then to the sensory development zone, returned to language (writing and reading) and Finally, math.

Ginny’s trainer presents the material to the “child”

First, we watched the presentation of a separate material with the participation of the “child” in the person of one of us, then we discussed the presentation, clarified the details, discussed the goals, age and criteria for the child’s readiness for this material. Then they moved on to the next presentation before starting to practice themselves. It was quite intense and required our full attention. It was necessary to catch every detail: how the material is located on the table, what movements are used, the sequence of work.

There is nothing superfluous in Montessori presentations, every movement and word is thought out and worked out: the movements are smooth and graceful, the words are minimal and do not overlap with the movements, but are spoken during pauses. As if spellbound, we looked at every refined graceful movement of our coaches, because that’s exactly how: gracefully, with calm enthusiasm and love for what you do, thoughtfully and gently, we had to learn how to work with each material.

After presenting a few materials, we were given time to take notes and then practice the material and make presentations. Here we split into pairs and practiced with each material, changing roles from teacher to child. Coaches at that time were nearby, observing, correcting, providing assistance when needed.

Course students practice with materials in the language area

We kept a record of our practice ourselves and had to track our progress ourselves. This is very much in tune with the Montessori philosophy, where everyone is responsible for their own learning process. We each had our own diary, where we were asked to write down our thoughts, to conduct reflection at any time we wanted, but preferably at the end of each day.

Sometimes this process was organized when the trainer asked us all to take out our diary and reflect on specific topics for a certain time, for example, “What difficulties am I experiencing at this stage of the course”, “What is significant for you that you have gained this week” , “What am I doing to make my training successful and what I still need to work on. ” Sometimes they were asked to reflect on the video they watched or the article they read. A couple of times during the course, we were asked to make a table and list in one column all the presentations that, according to our feelings, we more or less mastered (that is, we can present on the go, without notes and consultations of a partner), and in another column, list all those presentations, which still needs to be worked on.

Photograph of material arrangement during presentation

In addition to organized practice time with trainers present during study hours, we were given the opportunity to stay after class and during lunch and practice as much as everyone felt was necessary and possible for them. At this time, we had to photograph the material, its location on the table during the presentation for our albums.

At home, we had to describe each presentation in detail, insert photos into the description. There was a lot of work, and each of us learned to be super-organized, if this quality was not there before. After all, without doing the work for one or two days, such a volume accumulated that it is difficult to clear it even for the entire weekend. I experienced it myself once at the very beginning of the course, and decided that this method did not suit me, and henceforth I did everything immediately, without clusters, for which I often stayed after class to practice so that I could already at home on the same day or the next day to describe the presentation for the album. With my level of organization and responsibility, this was natural for me and helped me complete the course with a minimum of stress.

Once a week, the described and printed presentations were checked and, if they met all the requirements, they were safely sent to our albums. Thus, by the end of the course, in addition to the theoretical album, we had four more albums: one for each zone. One of the students counted the number of presentations for the entire period and counted about 240. I personally did not count, I cannot confirm, but that there are a lot of them, that’s for sure.

Another aspect of learning materials was making your own. This was one of the most exciting tasks, as we had to not only show our knowledge of the principles and characteristics of materials, but also show our creativity and craftsmanship. Materials were prepared separately for the practical life zone, the sensory development zone, and the language zone.

Exhibition of Montessori language materials made by students of course

How many emotions we experienced in those early morning hours when we organized a demonstration of our materials (there were three such events in the entire course). Everyone exhibited their material, and then we had time to walk around and admire the work of others.

Then it was time for the trainers to check each material for compliance and make appropriate entries in our personal files. In the meantime, we were left to ourselves, or rather to numerous materials with which we continued to practice. Ginny never tired of repeating that there is never too much practice, and that we should take advantage of this unique time when we are given such an opportunity. After all, we had a task: to work out presentations to automatism, so that when we go to real life, to children, we no longer have to think about how and what to show, but we can focus on the child and adapt to each specific person in front of us. And for this it is necessary that the brain and attention be freed from the need to think about every movement and step.

Observations in the Montessori Garden:

If you are already familiar with Montessori education, then you probably know about one of the most important roles and tasks of the teacher – observation. Without active and regular supervision, the Montessori educator becomes a traditional teacher. After all, how can we follow each child if we do not know what he needs at the moment. As in a traditional school, in this case, the teacher begins to give the material to everyone equally, regardless of individual characteristics, needs, moods and desires. Therefore, observation is the most important work of a teacher in a Montessori environment.

Observation plays an important role in AMI training. Each student is assigned to a Montessori group with an experienced teacher with an AMI diploma. Ideally, the student is assigned to the same group for the entire course of study, which includes two periods of observation (October and February), and a period of practice. Portland is a real paradise for Montessori practitioners, as there are plenty of good AMI schools here, and each of us had the opportunity to first see and then experience the atmosphere of an authentic Montessori environment in action.

Observations last 2 weeks each and students must receive a minimum of 90 hours of observation over the entire period. For the entire observation period, we were given daily tasks that guided us, organized a purposeful and meaningful process.

Under natural conditions, the teacher does not sit and watch the children continuously throughout the school day. In a training setting, this is done for the purpose of teaching and developing observational skills, and, as Ginny Sackett kept repeating, such an opportunity should be perceived as a gift. After all, never again on the path of a Montessori teacher will we have such an opportunity: just to observe, without distraction from the children, without responsibility for the whole class, completely devoting ourselves to only one of the duties of a teacher.

It should be noted that it is not at all an easy task to sit and actively (!) observe and record for 6-8 hours in a row. Do not interfere, do not give signs of attention, but simply be invisible, but an observant fly on the wall. We all later noted how exhausting it was both physically and mentally, and how we came home exhausted.

Observations are organized in such a way that we had the opportunity to see a group of children at the beginning of its formation – mid-October, when children are still in most cases not normalized, and then in the middle of the school year – in February. It is simply impossible to overestimate this opportunity! I have seen with my own eyes the transformation of individual children from running in circles, playful, not knowing where to find themselves and what to do at the beginning of the year, into peaceful ones, constantly doing something and periodically asking the teacher for a new lesson / presentation a few months later.

How my heart warmed, and sometimes tears came, at the sight of a child who in a regular school would be branded a naughty, unable to sit still for a second, during the second observation (in February) entering the room in the morning , going straight to the shelf, taking the material, working intently, putting it away and taking the next one, and so on all morning. How one day I saw him at the teacher’s chair happily telling her that he loves school and that there are so many things he loves to do. At such moments, you see in practice the transformative power of a well-built, prepared Montessori environment. And it gives so much inspiration! How valuable it was to see in practice what we studied in theory!

Pedagogical practice

We have all been waiting for this moment with trepidation in our hearts. All the theory within the course has already been studied, all the materials of all zones have been presented and at least somehow worked out, your soul is already eager for real children, and not your classmates pretending to be children. And this moment comes. Active teaching practice for a month in the same class where we had the practice of observation. This is the time when we had the opportunity already in real life, with a real child, to practice our presentations, establish a connection with him, observe, find the right moment when to offer him a new lesson, gracefully accept his refusal, if this happens (yes , children have the freedom and the right to say no if at the moment they do not want a new lesson).

My fellow student Savannah in practice at the Montessori Garden

The teaching practice in the AMI course is specific compared to traditional teaching practice, in the sense that we are not responsible for the entire group of children for the period of practice, but we receive only a few children in our leadership, with whom we are already working directly. This allows you to focus as much as possible on a particular child and on a particular presentation, without the need to monitor all the children and be responsible for all. The teacher and assistant are always present and perform their usual roles, and according to the protocol they do not have the right to leave the student alone with the children.

Observation, however, as part of teaching practice, of course, is carried out with the entire group of children. In addition, we had to conduct group lessons with a group of 3-8 people, which could include any children not necessarily assigned to us for individual lessons. Group lessons were planned and organized based on the needs of individual children and the group as a whole at a particular moment. It could be exercises in walking on the line, and the practice of oral speech (telling a poem, singing a song, reading a book, speech games), and group games for mathematical operations, and memory games from the sensory zone.

Between individual presentations and group sessions, we had to observe, record observations, record individual lessons and group lessons. All this was entered into a computer at home and, along with planning, compiled practice documentation, which we then submitted for verification.

Twice during the period of practice we were visited by trainers, who observed our individual lesson and group lesson and wrote reports. Their presence was both exciting and warming. After observing, they talked to us to make sure everything was going well and we were comfortable in our new role.

I practice with didactic materials before exams

The period of practice was a truly indescribable experience, it was so energizing and inspirational that it was emotionally difficult to finish. So many wonderful moments, so many soul-warming observations, so much love in the heart: I wanted to fly, sing, wake up again in the morning and run to school with the children in order to see their tremulous expectation of a new presentation again and again, to observe full involvement in work and joy after working with material, to be a witness to the manifestation of their beautiful spiritual impulses, their wisdom, sometimes touching to the depths of the heart.

But time is inexorable, and after teaching practice we had to return to the training center, where we were actively preparing for the exams. We had to brush up on the theoretical foundations laid down during the school year, as well as continue to work out presentations and bring them to a new level: not only be able to demonstrate work with the material, but also be able to talk about each material, demonstrate understanding and knowledge of the theoretical foundations, justifications, purposes and place of the material in connection with other materials in the given zone and other zones.

Exams

Exams are strictly regulated by the International Montessori Association itself and have a very clearly defined structure. Exams consist of two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of the exam is held in writing for two days, 3 hours each exam. The first part is devoted to Montessori philosophy and the theoretical foundations of child development in the light of Montessori philosophy. We were offered seven theoretical questions, from which we chose four and answered them in writing.

The second part has a more methodological focus, and concerns each of the zones of the prepared environment in connection with Montessori theory. It was also proposed to choose four out of seven questions and answer them within 3 hours.

After the written exam, we had about two more weeks of time to prepare for the practical part of the exams. In the practice exam, we were to give one presentation from each zone (which was determined by pulling the name card out of the bag immediately before the exam), and then talk with the examiner about the material and the whole zone as a whole.

My albums and materials are ready to go for exam

In addition, the examiners had to check our albums and produced materials for compliance with AMI standards, so we brought all our albums and materials by the day of the exam.

The examiners are appointed (or approved by the training center, I’m not sure) by AMI itself and come from all over the country. All official examiners are AMI trainers, but not all trainers are official AMI examiners, the status of an examiner is obtained by the trainer with the approval of the AMI. It is also worth mentioning that according to the protocol of the AMI, the trainers who train the group do not have the right to take exams from them, which is why the AMI appoints who exactly will take the exams in each training center.

In addition to the examiners, so-called “children” are invited to the examination. These “children” are not real children, but certified teachers, graduates of the AMI Center, acting as children. They play the role of children during presentations, and during conversations they are present and silently listen. For this (the process lasts from 7:40 to almost 17:00) they receive a professional development certificate, as well as the opportunity to refresh their knowledge due to the presence of the examiner and the future teacher during the conversation. I personally participated as a child in a summer course exam after I myself received an AMI diploma and experienced exams in two roles – as an examinee and as a child and listener.

I was personally delighted with this organization of the exam, as I felt how conscientiously and responsibly the AMI organization treats the preparation of future teachers. Exams are so comprehensive and require quality work throughout the course (and not like in traditional universities, where, in many cases, you could not study fully during the semester, and then learn tickets in 3 days and get 5, successfully forgetting everything learned in over the next week)! It is impossible to master the entire volume of theoretical material and a palette of practical skills a week or two before the exam. And even for a month. This is the result of a huge serious work throughout all 9months.

Sarah and Jeannie kept telling us that exams are a celebration of what we know. It doesn’t have to be trying to cram as much as possible into your head the night before an exam. Preparation for them should go throughout the year! For the first time in my life, this is how I felt about exams. And how much this approach differs from the traditional one, where the exam is an attempt to hide what we don’t know by all means, but at the same time get the grade we need. In the entire history of my academic life (and this is far from one year and a huge number of exams), I have not perceived exams as a celebration of what I know. Another life lesson from our wise coaches. That’s how I perceived my exams this time, and felt the difference! It was a pity when the examiner had to stop the conversation due to time constraints! After all, I wanted to extend this holiday longer! It was on the day after the exam that my inspiration, my flow, led me to the idea of ​​this site. I so wanted to keep everything that I had acquired and bring it to people that I sat down to write the first article the very next day.

Our group at the beginning of the school year

And just as a child born after 9 months of intrauterine development, when leaving the womb, just begins its life journey, so we, after 9 months of intensive work, development and improvement, leave to begin our pedagogical life, full discoveries, new realizations, self-improvement and service to children.

A group of former SpaceX employees has filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board, The New York Times reports. The employees say they were fired illegally after putting together a letter that called on the company to strengthen its “zero-tolerance policies” following sexual harassment allegations against Elon Musk.

Nine employees were ultimately fired after the letter came out in June, the Times reports, eight of whom filed the charges with federal regulators. The letter, first reported on by The Verge, asked SpaceX executives for three things: to curb “Elon’s harmful Twitter behavior,” to define and enforce the company’s sexual harassment policies, and ensure that all leadership is held accountable for violating such policies.

Employees say they were fired illegally

“SpaceX’s current systems and culture do not live up to its stated values, as many employees continue to experience unequal enforcement of our oft-repeated ‘No Asshole’ and ‘Zero Tolerance’ policies. This must change,” the letter read. More than 400 employees signed it.

In the weeks leading up to the letter, Musk had taken to Twitter to make light of new sexual harassment allegations against him. A flight attendant on a company jet said he had shown her his penis and asked for an erotic massage — telling her he would buy her a horse for doing so, Insider reported in May. SpaceX wound up paying the flight attendant $250,000 to settle her sexual misconduct claim in 2018, according to Insider.

The Insider report was only the latest public controversy about working conditions at SpaceX. A former engineer published an essay last December describing years of sexual harassment she says she faced at the company. Four more former SpaceX employees came forward that month, sharing sexual harassment they experienced or witnessed against other women and nonbinary people with The Verge. In 2020, a former intern sued SpaceX, saying the company retaliated against her for reporting sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

Joking about the Insider report and his then-still-pending Twitter takeover with YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, on May 20th, Musk tweeted, “Hi Chad, long time no see! Fine, if you touch my wiener, you can have a horse.”

Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us,” SpaceX employees subsequently wrote in their open letter.

Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us”

That elicited swift backlash from company leadership. “We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism,” SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell wrote in an email to staff shortly after the letter circulated. “We performed an investigation and have terminated a number of employees involved.”

After firing five employees who were involved in writing the letter, SpaceX held a heated meeting in which vice president Jon Edwards told employees, “SpaceX is Elon and Elon is SpaceX,” according to The New York Times. Several more employees were reportedly fired after the meeting.

Firing employees involved in writing the letter likely violated US labor law, legal experts told The Verge in June. “This could very much be seen as retaliation for speaking up,” Mary Inman, a whistleblower attorney at Constantine Cannon, said to The Verge. “What does this say to workers? It basically says, we don’t want to hear from you.” SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Verge.

More recently, outside of SpaceX, Musk has fired even more people who challenged him. At Twitter this week, at least 10 people have reportedly been fired for critical remarks of Musk on the company’s private Slack. Several more employees have lost their jobs after tweeting about Musk. That’s on the heels of Musk unceremoniously laying off half of all Twitter’s employees just a week after taking over the social media platform in October.

This also isn’t the first time that the National Labor Relations Board has gotten involved with an employee dispute at a Musk-owned company. Following a lengthy legal battle, the NLRB in 2021 upheld a 2019 decision that Tesla illegally fired a worker involved in efforts to unionize its Fremont factory. The decision mandated that Tesla rehire the employee with back pay. If SpaceX is similarly found to have violated the law when it fired employees who wrote the open letter in June, the company might be forced to reinstate them with back pay also. Any managers or supervisors who were axed, however, wouldn’t receive the same protections under the National Labor Relations Act.

SpaceX workers say they were fired for complaining about Elon Musk’s tweets

Lawsuit filed by fired SpaceX employees

SpaceX employees file lawsuit alleging they were fired for criticizing CEO Elon Musk
06:07

SpaceX executives illegally fired nine workers who objected to CEO Elon Musk’s tweets, alleges a complaint recently filed with the nation’s labor board.

After a group of workers this summer complained that Musk’s frequent tweeting of insults, sexual puns and political statements reflected badly on the space exploration company, executives targeted the employees for dismissal, the workers charge. According to the workers, five of them were fired immediately and four more were let go over the ensuing two months.

“It was honestly shocking to see that kind of reaction from an organization that prides itself on having employees speak up about any issue, whether it’s technical or cultural, and gives them the power to drive that change,” Tom Moline, one of the dismissed workers, told CBS News on Tuesday.

Moline and Paige Holland-Thielen, another worker fired from SpaceX, filed formal complaints with the National Labor Relations Board seeking to get their jobs back. Lawyers filed complaints on behalf of six other former SpaceX employees, who are remaining anonymous.

SpaceX “missed an incredible opportunity to improve the company culture and instead just fired them. And that’s just tragic. I mean, these are the type of workers you want,” Anne Shaver, a partner with Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein who is representing the workers behind the complaint, told CBS MoneyWatch recently. 

Musk’s management of SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter, which he now owns, has come under scrutiny after his move to take control of the social media company. At Twitter, employees also said they lost their jobs after disagreeing with Musk’s strategies publicly and privately. 

Harassment allegations 

In May, allegations surfaced that Musk had exposed himself to a SpaceX flight attendant, and that the company gave her a $250,000 settlement in exchange for her silence. Musk denied the report, challenging the accuser to “describe anything at all” about his body “that isn’t known to the public.” He gleefully suggested naming the scandal “Elongate” and went on to tell another Twitter user, “Fine, if you touch my wiener, you can have a horse.” 

Other comments the CEO has tweeted include: “Jack in the Box should do double duty as a sperm clinic”; a picture of dinosaurs mating; and various posts opposing the use of pronouns in written communications to indicate someone’s gender.

That freewheeling style allows bad behavior to go unchallenged at the company, said Moline, who described the SpaceX head as “very much off-the-cuff, and all focused on that mission … of getting to Mars as quickly as possible.”

“This allows him, and sets the example for management within the company, to basically ignore anything that could potentially get in the way of that mission — whether it’s federal labor laws [or] the sexual harassment of women within the workforce,” Moline told CBS News.

It was against this backdrop of harassment allegations from a SpaceX flight attendant and a female former engineer at the company that some employees spoke out. In an open letter drafted in June, they asked SpaceX to clarify its worker conduct policies and to apply those rules uniformly across the company. Separately, they asked SpaceX to “condemn” Musk’s “harmful Twitter behavior.”

“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us,” workers wrote in the letter, a copy of which was filed with paperwork with the NLRB on Wednesday.  

“As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to our potential talent pool that his messaging does not reflect our work, our mission, or our values. SpaceX’s current systems and culture do not live up to its stated values,” they wrote.

Letter to Musk a “distraction” 

On June 16, the day after the letter circulated, SpaceX fired Tom Moline, a senior engineer who helped lead the effort to draft the missive, along with four other employees, according to the NLRB complaint. The company in July and August fired four other workers involved in circulating the letter.

The same day Moline and four others were dismissed, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell called the letter a “distraction” in an email, saying the company had “no need for this kind of overreaching activism.”

“The letter, solicitations and general process made employees feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied, and/or angry because the letter pressured them to sign onto something that did not reflect their views,” Shotwell said in the email, which was filed with the NLRB along with the employees’ complaint.  

“We performed an investigation and have terminated a number of employees involved,” she said. 

Shotwell was on the call with human resources on which Moline and four others were fired, the engineer told CBS News. 

Under federal law, it’s illegal to retaliate against workers who try to improve their conditions, including by collectively raising concerns about the workplace.If the labor board agrees that the workers were fired illegally, it could order SpaceX to rehire them and offer back pay.

A lawyer for the workers also did not rule out pursuing a private lawsuit against the company, alleging that SpaceX broke several laws when it fired them, including federal and state laws against discrimination.

Christopher Cardaci, head of the SpaceX legal department, did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Do rules apply to Musk?

Jeffery Pfeffer, a professor who specializes in organizational behavior at Stanford University’s business school, told the Associated Press that the allegations were hardly a surprise given Musk’s leadership style at Twitter. Musk recently eliminated half the staff of the social media company and imposed an ultimatum on the remainder, telling workers they need to “be extremely hardcore” and work long hours to rebuild the platform.

Musk’s success at Tesla and SpaceX have created what Pfeffer labeled as hubris under the false notion that it was “all about individual genius.”

“Powerful people get to break the rules. They don’t think they are bound by the same conventions as other people,” Pfeffer said. He added that it showed the arrogance of Musk, one of the world’s richest men: “Why would he think he is a mere mortal?”

Free speech, but not for all

While Musk champions free speech and openness, workers said their firing in response to raising concerns was a shock.

“Part of what was supposed to be so great about SpaceX was that any person at any level could escalate issues to leadership and be taken seriously and treated with respect,” Paige Holland-Thielen, another of the fired workers, said in a statement. “We never imagined that SpaceX would fire us for trying to help the company succeed.”

The workers were dismayed at what they saw as a reversal from Shotwell, who was initially supportive, Moline told the New York Times, which first reported the labor charges.

“I thought she was doing a good job protecting and advocating for us against some of the worst impulses that Elon and others might have had,” he told the outlet. “Finally realizing that she wasn’t that savior — that broke down the trust for me.”

How Russian specialists work at NASA structures

Photo: Chris Gunn / Nasa

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the top government employer in 2016 and 2017, according to research by Deloitte and the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service. Of the 80,000 people who work for NASA, 20,000 are full-time employees and 60,000 are contract employees of contractor companies.

The conditions are really excellent, says contractor Sergei Gusev: the average salary is over $100,000 a year, and there are social benefits. Gusev is one of many Russian-speaking employees of NASA (how many of them are in the agency, the representative of the organization did not answer). RBC magazine found several NASA employees who came from the USSR and Russia and found out how it turned out that they were developing the American, and not the domestic, space industry.

From Balashikha to Washington

Sergei Korkin, 35, was born in Balashikha and graduated from the Moscow Power Engineering Institute with a degree in optics and electronic devices. “MIPT, of course, is cooler, but I had only one attempt to enter, otherwise I would have gone to the army,” he recalls. In 2006, the young man graduated from the magistracy, three years later – postgraduate studies: “Rolled through life like a billiard ball …”

Once Korkin’s supervisor asked him if he would like to work in America. Sergei dreamed of doing science, but in graduate school “they didn’t pay anything.” In parallel with his studies, Korkin repaired surveillance cameras and engaged in conference calls to earn a living. “I keep in touch with former university colleagues. Muscovites, who were more capable of science than I, went to private companies,” he says.

In 2010, Korkin came to the US for a one-year internship, but he has been living in the country for the eighth year now. All the while, he has been working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA’s research lab near Washington DC. Corkin lives with his wife and two children in Crofton, Maryland and takes about half an hour to get to work by car. The daughter goes to a private kindergarten at NASA.

Formally, Korkin works for USRA GESTAR, a non-profit corporation that has a contract with NASA. The Goddard Center tests satellites, studies ecology and weather, but can also engage in non-specialized research. When Toyota cars began to randomly accelerate on the roads a few years ago, it was NASA that was looking for the cause of the problem, the mathematician recalls.

Korkin is currently involved in the development of software that calculates how light is scattered in the atmosphere. The obtained data are compared with data from the Landsat Earth remote sensing satellite: “This allows us to judge the purity of the atmosphere. In particular, to monitor the appearance and movement of small particles that can enter the bloodstream through the lungs and cause illness in urban residents.”

The information obtained with the help of these programs and Landsat is kept in the public domain and can be used by any organization. “We, unfortunately, do not have such a satellite, although the country is large, it needs monitoring of forests and fields,” complains Korkin. He says “we”, “we”, “our country”, always referring to Russia: “I have no right to say “our country” about America – I am not a citizen.” There are a lot of immigrants from the USSR around Korkin, which “has a negative effect on the level of the English language,” he laughs.

NASA programmers in general “don’t care where they work” – they just “write code.” Korkin could work at home, but he does not know “who in Russia can pay a normal salary for working with the integral.” When Sergey communicates with colleagues who have settled in Germany, who periodically, like him, complain about Western life, they agree on one thing: if you return to Russia, you will have to forget about science.

At NASA, Korkin does “more science than technology.” He does not need to strictly follow the schedule: the main thing is the result, although it is also impossible to be absent for a week without a reason. For people who are engaged in the production of satellites in the agency, on the contrary, everything is scheduled by the minute. Corkin calls USRA GESTAR a typical American company: employees have a strict hierarchy and a bonus system – “you can get an increase in your pension.”

Americans immediately focus on the consumer, the expert argues why there is not a single successful private space company in Russia. “The first supercomputer in Europe was created in the Soviet Union and immediately classified. As soon as the Europeans created a supercomputer, they started selling it,” Korkin throws up his hands.

Fundamental cosmos

“When I say that I work for NASA, I hear the answer: “Oh, tell me!” says Natalya Buzulukova, a researcher at the agency. She was born and raised in Minsk in a family of engineers. As a child, she read the magazines “Young Technician” and “Technology for Youth”. Until the eighth grade, she studied music, “like all the girls of that time,” and after the eighth she entered the physics and mathematics class and realized that physics was her vocation.

The Soviet Union collapsed when Natalia was a first-year student at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). “I didn’t believe it when they told me [about the collapse of the USSR], I thought it was a hoax,” she admits. Buzulukova calls it a happy coincidence that she remained in science, since in the 1990s “everyone forgot” about science.

Postgraduate student at the Institute of Biochemical Physics. N.M. Emanuel RAS Buzulukova for a year worked on fullerenes (special carbon compounds used in many areas – from medicine to superconducting and quantum technologies. – RBC ) and nanotubes. “There were interesting people there, but in general there was an atmosphere of slight stagnation,” she recalls. Friends invited her to the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS), where she worked for three years with the famous physicist Yuri Galperin and studied the interaction of the Earth’s magnetosphere with the solar wind as part of the Interball project. “These were very important years that shaped what I began to do later,” the scientist explains. In 2003, Natalya defended her dissertation and received the Russian President’s Prize for Young Scientists, thanks to which she was able to buy a computer.

Buzulukova decided not to wait for interesting job offers, and in the fall of 2006 she herself applied to NASA for a scholarship for young professionals with an advanced degree. When a positive response came, Natalya was surprised, but in May 2007 she moved to Washington and began working for a space agency under a contract through the University of Maryland. She was immediately offered a “competitive” salary, for which she could rent housing in the US capital, “live normally” and attend scientific conferences.

PhD postdocs are the driving force behind science in the United States and at NASA in particular, Buzulukova says: they are “energetic, inexpensive, but make a big contribution to the development of the scientific base.” Over the years, she has worked with postdocs from Spain, South Korea, China, and the United States.

Buzulukova is engaged in fundamental research – studies the Earth’s magnetosphere and geomagnetic storms, writes scientific articles, reviews of the work of other scientists. She also belongs to a group of developers who are associated with “space weather”. “I work with large codes, add features to them, debug them – the usual work of a programmer, only a scientific one,” says Natalia with a smile. These codes are needed to model the behavior of the magnetosphere during storms. In 2017, Elsevier published a collection dedicated to “space weather” edited by Buzulukova.

Scientists at NASA have to spend a significant part of their time preparing applications for funding: “You need to prove that your work will be interesting and important: here no one gives money to anyone just like that,” Buzulukova warns. But she talks about corporate culture with delight. NASA employees can visit numerous clubs of interest – this is how lovers of skiing, aviation, yoga, sport fishing, etc. find each other. There are many programs to work with schoolchildren and students who can see how the agency works and, under the guidance of scientists and engineers, take part in projects. “Schoolchildren, of course, will not have time to carry out serious scientific work in a couple of months of internship, but this will most likely affect their choice of profession,” Buzulukova is sure.

In 2016, NASA opened the call for applications for those wishing to become astronauts, and more than 18 thousand people sent resumes – this is a record. One of the selection criteria was flight experience. “In Russia, what is the experience of flying among young people? None. And in the United States, private aviation is developed and all the people believe that astronauts are heroes, ”says Buzulukova. When NASA announces that it will be engaged in space exploration, it clarifies that this is “for the benefit of Americans and all mankind,” Natalya recalls.

“When Elon Musk successfully launches another rocket, you can be proud of it too. It seems to me that this is right, space unites, and does not separate people, ”she concludes.

Escape from the USSR

Alexander Vasilkov, a 71-year-old leading researcher at Science Systems and Applications, admits that he still hasn’t retired because his wife won’t let him. “It would seem that at this age it’s time to retire, but she thinks that working is good for my health,” Vasilkov laughs. His employer has been supplying personnel for NASA under a contract for over 40 years, and Vasilkov has been cooperating with Science Systems and Applications for 16 years.

A graduate of the Faculty of Aerophysics and Space Research at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, he dreamed of becoming a scientist since childhood. For a year he was engaged in research of hypersonic gas dynamics in the head structure of Roscosmos TsNIIMash, then moved to the Department of Physical Mechanics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, where he worked for several years on remote sensing of the atmosphere from space. “I liked it there, because it was freer than at TsNIIMash,” the scientist recalls.

For the next 18 years, Vasilkov was a senior researcher at the Institute of Oceanology. P.P. Shirshov of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was engaged in sounding the ocean from space. “I had good ideas related to space, but they could not be realized,” the researcher complains. Using satellite data, he wanted to learn about the distribution of chlorophyll in the oceans and calculate the places where the most fish are found. Vasilkov received information from the State Research Center for the Study of Natural Resources. “However, in Russia at that time there was no data processing infrastructure. In my opinion, even now they do not pay due attention to this, ”the scientist states. Such infrastructure requires no less investment than building a satellite, he notes.

After the collapse of the USSR, Vasilkov’s family, like many others in the country, fell on hard times: the Soros Foundation prize, which the scientist received, helped to survive. When Vasilkov was invited to work at the Belgian Royal Institute of Natural Science in Brussels to probe the North Sea, he immediately agreed. There he created a group of three scientists who are still studying the pollution of the Belgian coastal zone.

The wife did not want to return to Moscow, so Vasilkov continued to look for work abroad. “In family life, the wife is the boss,” says the scientist with a smile. Vasilkov sent out his resume and got a job at NASA as a contractor, he is engaged in remote sensing of the atmosphere and ocean using the Suomi NPP meteorological satellite.

“Unlike in the Soviet Union, everything here is mobile: when money runs out, everyone quits,” says Vasilkov. Contractors do not have working contracts with the agency, so you can quit at any time, but “they can also be fired for no reason, which often happens.” When he announced to his colleagues in Brussels that he had got a job in the US, the first thing they asked was how many years the contract was signed. “When I said that there is no contract, they were very surprised: in Europe everyone signs to be socially protected,” the scientist recalls.

The data that Vasilkov and his colleagues receive from satellites is also stored in the public domain. At the same time, many people in the agency are working to ensure that even unprepared people can use the information. In recent years, Vasilkov’s work has been related to atmospheric pollution – automobile and industrial exhausts and acid rain. On this and other topics, the scientist wrote about 80 works that were published in scientific periodicals.

He learns about the distribution of pollutants around the globe using the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), which is located on board the NASA Aura satellite. Vasilkov’s office has a map of the Earth’s atmospheric pollution. “The most polluted place on the planet is China. Most regions of Russia are clean, but I see Moscow as a huge red spot, ”says the scientist. This information could be useful for monitoring the state of the atmosphere in the country, but “no one in Russia is now engaged in environmental monitoring,” Vasilkov sums up.

What Questions Should I Ask a Child Care Provider?

What ages does Bright Horizons in Atlanta serve in its child care program?

Most of our Atlanta child care centers serve children ages six weeks to six years. Bright Horizons is more than daycare. We have programs with developmentally appropriate curriculum for infants, toddler, preschool and pre-K.

I’ve looked at other child care solutions in Atlanta with long waitlists. What if I want to enroll at a Atlanta Bright Horizons center but space is not available?

You can select and register with up to three Bright Horizons child care locations, including the center in which you are most interested. By registering, you are confirming interest in all three centers. Once registered, we will add you to our waitlist and offer you a space as soon as one becomes available. Our goal is to accommodate families as soon as space allows, and so during the entire process, we will keep in touch with you regarding your status. While waiting for a space to become available at the first-choice location, many families enroll at their second or third choices temporarily until space becomes available at their first-choice centers. Enrolling at another location will not only solve your immediate child care needs, but will provide you priority access to your first preference.

What is the background check process for all staff at Bright Horizons Atlanta child care centers?

Bright Horizons conducts comprehensive background checks on all prospective employees and frequent visitors. In Atlanta, the state of GA Department of Youth and Families requires background checks for employees of a daycare or licensed child care facility.

 

Bright Horizons background checks consist of a county criminal record check for the past seven years performed in all counties that a person has lived, worked or attended school. In addition to the county criminal search, a sex offender search, OFAC search, and a social security verification trace are also conducted.

Is it safe to send my child to a Atlanta child care or preschool?

Bright Horizons is trusted by parents in Atlanta, including many doctors and nurses, to care for their children. We’ve partnered with pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Kristin Moffitt of Boston Children’s Hospital to implement enhanced safety protocols for all areas including daily health screening, distancing, cleaning, and disinfecting. Our goal is to ensure that all of our health and safety practices in every center are in line with recommendations provided by the CDC and requirements of state and local municipalities. Our Atlanta centers have the well-being of children, families, and staff at their core.

Tuition and Fees – The Willow School

Tuition & Fees for 2022-23 School Year

All tuition payments are due on the first business day of each month.  Families have the option of choosing a 12-month schedule (year-round care) or a 10-month schedule (no care needed for June and July).  The monthly tuition and registration fee are the same for either option, but these options allow the school to plan for staffing during the summer when some families may not need childcare.   We ask that each family choose carefully and give at least 30 days notice if they need to make changes.  If you wish to make any change to your child’s enrollment, please feel out a Change Request form available in the office.

Tuition is based on an annual budgeted amount and divided into equal monthly payments.  Tuition is due even in the case of school closure for any reason.  No tuition reductions will be made for absences due to family vacation, illness, etc.

For example, the GA Lottery Pre-K class will follow the City Schools of Decatur calendar. There are times when CSD are closed, but The Willow School is open. Families that need care on those days can attend school and pay the daily rate.

Choosing a kindergarten or school is a rather serious task. Schools and kindergartens in the United States have their own ratings, which you need to focus on when choosing. The rating depends on many factors and reliably indicates the level of the institution, so it becomes one of the most important points when choosing a place of residence. Even babies are admitted to the kindergarten – in a special group. There are no public kindergartens in America, but there is a huge selection of private ones. There are child development centers.
