When parents choose a school for their child, they are trusting the school and educators to understand their child, recognize their strengths and challenges, create a safe and supportive environment, and help prepare them for the future. An important factor parents should consider when evaluating a school is who is teaching their child and what professional preparation have those educators received.
While there are many talented and caring individuals who can work diligently with children, a licensed teacher has completed specific education, training, and professional requirements designed to prepare them for the responsibilities of teaching. That preparation can make a meaningful difference in a child’s educational experience.
A licensed teacher is trained in areas such as:
Not every child learns the same way and one of the most important responsibilities of a teacher is to recognize that instruction is not a one-size fits all approach. In one classroom, a teacher can have advanced student (students who are achieving beyond their grade level), students who are at grade level, and students who need extra support. Licensed teachers receive training in differentiating instruction and recognizing these differences.
Parents should feel comfortable asking schools questions about their educators.
Consider asking:
These questions can help parents understand not only who is teaching their child, but also the educational philosophy and professional standards behind the classroom.
At the end of the day, education is one of the most important investments a family makes. Children deserve educators who understand how they learn, how to recognize their individual needs, how to challenge them appropriately, and how to help them develop both academically and personally. Our teachers at Embrace Academy are ALL licensed teachers who have professional training, educational knowledge, classroom experience, and a commitment to continued learning.
Choosing a school is ultimately about choosing the people who will help shape your child’s educational journey. Ask questions. Look at their qualifications. Visit the classroom. Talk with the teachers and make sure the school you choose has the professional foundation necessary to help your child thrive. We looking forward to meeting you and answering your question on how we can help meet your child’s needs!
