All children are smart
At Tzemach Tzedek we strive to create many different mediums to develop all intelligence modalities. We divide a class for each student’s best interests, having some learning independently and some in pairs while the teacher will focus on individual students or small groups requiring extra attention.
In instruction, we empower each student by using alternate methods per each student’s abilities and making classes hands on experiences. When reviewing, students create tests, use the chavrusa method, design flashcards or games.
We encourage our students to express their knowledge via a creative medium. They are given the option of designing an artistic poster, power point, diorama or producing a skit to convey the information. This allows each child’s forte to shine. Below is an example of a slide show created by a student for Halacho class.
