How Sage Oak Supports Accelerated Learners with Gloria Farewell, Parent of a 4th Grade Student

Gloria Farewell is the parent of an ambitious, accelerated 10-year-old Sage Oak student.  In this podcast, Gloria shares how she partners with her Teacher Facilitator to curate a list of advanced curriculum and highly-engaging enrichment activities as well as how she blends multiple resources, learning materials, educational philosophies, learning styles, and languages together to keep her son challenged.Gloria addresses common questions and concerns she hears from parents who are on the fence about an independent study model such as "will there be enough socialization," and "I'm not a teacher, how do I know if I'm doing enough?"  Gloria shares how she provides an abundance of socialization for her son through participation in Sage Oak field trips and events, as well as lessons with our community providers.  She also calms the fears of parents who don't feel equipped to teach their children by sharing her experience in partnering with her Sage Oak Teacher Facilitator.  Gloria candidly shares how she leans on her Teacher Facilitator as an expert to guide her through advanced curriculum choices that can be one and two grades level above her son's current 4th grade level on certain topics of subjects while also holding her accountable for overall 4th grade standard mastery.Thank you for listening to the Sage Studio podcast presented by Sage Oak Charter Schools and hosted by Tiffiny Webster, M.A.Ed.  We invite you to follow the show and leave your review below.  Sage Oak Charter Schools is an independent study nonclassroom based TK-12 personalized learning public charter school serving students in Southern California.  Visit sageoak.education for more information.Sage Oak WebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTube
