Before we made this decision...I agonized over it for months...maybe even a year. It's a hard one and a BIG one, but then I realized that even if it "doesn't work out" we could re-choose school! There's no law (in IN) that says you have to make the decision one time and then sink or swim. You can change your mind each year if you want...although that would probably do some damage to their psyche. I was most concerned about their learning styles and my teaching/learning style. I wanted to do well by them and be able to adapt my teaching to their needs.
I read: Talkers, Watchers & Doers by Cheri Fuller (I have a watcher/talker and a doer/talker. I'm a talker...bet you guessed it!)
And I read/heard about: The Well Trained Mind by Jesse Wise & Susan Wise Bauer (which I will post more about later.)
I just recently read: Better Late than Early by Raymond & Dorothy Moore (encouragement for dealing with my doer/talker)
