It’s Not Rocket Science, It’s a No-brainer

December 11, 2015 By:Alison McNee

band (1 of 5)Research: In 1933 John Dewey wrote that teachers must “give full time and attention to observation and interpretation of the pupils’ intellectual reactions.” What he was referring to is now termed “presence.” Research shows that learning is bound to essential, authentic relationships where teachers are present with their students, paying close attention to their needs, and responding intelligently and compassionately to them. Presence is a major component of prompting participation in the learning experience and positive educational outcomes.
Practice: At Chrysalis we recognize the power of presence—it build the critical foundation for learning and can contribute to a transformational experience for students. All of our students receive one-on-one instruction in some form, providing hours of adult presence in their days. They feel seen and heard by teachers who strive to constantly balance the right amount of challenge with support to create and optimal learning environment. Click here for tips on how to practice being present at home.

One-On-One Instruction

November 14, 2014 By:Alison McNee

CHS First Day (12 of 15)Research: In 1984 Benjamin Bloom of the University of Chicago concluded that one-on-one instruction was the most effective way to learn. Bloom found that consistent feedback, corrective processes, timely remediation of miscommunication, reinforcement, encouragement, and active participation in learning led to higher student achievement, positive attitudes toward learning, and positive academic self concept. His research remains salient today, as researchers scramble to find solutions that can challenge his results in traditional classrooms.

Practice: Our 30 years of experience endorse the value of one-on-one instruction. People often ask, how can you squeeze a week’s worth of material into one hour of instruction? The power of one-on-one instruction allows us to do just that. Our group classes are small and personal. They necessarily meet for longer periods, but continue to incorporate the elements of instruction that Bloom considered essential to the learning process.
