UNICEF - Teachers Talking about your classroom and how you teach compared to most public schools? Q Could you tell me about the idea of family research projects ? http://www.unicef.org/teachers/forum/0801.htm
Extractions: Roger A. Hart Question: Please tell us a little about your school, your community and your job. Answer : I teach in a small public school in Westminster West, which is a rural part of the state of Vermont. The school has two rooms with a total of 40 to 45 children aged 6 to 11 years old. I teach the younger children, aged 6 to 8 years old. I am now teaching many of the children of the parents that I taught. It's a community school where parents get involved in the school but we do have to be aware of the very long hours that some parents have to work. Many parents are self-employed or have several jobs and struggle to make a living. Q: What would you say is most distinctive about your classroom and how you teach compared to most public schools? A : I think that the big difference is that I really do respect the child. I don't look down on them. I consider we are working here together as equal partners but with different experiences. I feel that young children very often know what they need to learn next and what they can handle. As a teacher you're trying to expand their interests and knowledge. I find that many public school classrooms are too teacher-directed. The reason that is often given for this is that there are State curriculum requirements that have to be fulfilled. But I've found that if you look closely at these requirements, you can fulfill the required curriculum in your own ways. You don't have to teach in a standardized way as long as your children are successful.

Autonomous learning is promoted as learners become more responsible for their own learning. There are learning outcomes -learners have an end product.
