OUR MISSION IN ACTION
Approach to Teaching & Learning
The Redeemer teachers work collaboratively to ensure a learning experience that is engaging, interactive, and open-ended. Rooted in research-based programs, the faculty enhance the curriculum with teacher-created activities and lessons that use a child’s intrinsic abilities. Investigation, collaboration, curiosity, discovery, and questioning are fundamental to Redeemer's learning environment and daily routines. Our classrooms can be a little messy and a little noisy. We embrace those as the sights and sounds of a vibrant learning environment!
Differentiated Learning & Assessments
Beginning in kindergarten, students are assessed early in the year to better understand each child as a learner. The data from the assessments are used to guide instruction and create small learning groups, focusing on the needs of each student. Ongoing assessments throughout the year continue to inform instruction and programming. In the elementary years, individual reading benchmarks assist in matching students to literature appropriate for skill development, fluency, and comprehension. Redeemer is also fortunate to have a language arts resource teacher who works with small groups in our kindergarten, pre-first, first and second grade classes multiple times throughout the week. With low student-teacher ratios and small class sizes, the Redeemer faculty differentiates teaching and learning to accommodate the unique needs of every student.
