CURRENT STATUS IN THE EDUACTION MARKET FOR CHILDREN AND TEACHERS

Due to accelerated technological development on a global scale, the demand for technical talents, scientists and engineers has increased greatly. Unfortunately, the outdated learning methods stoped the thedevelopment of childred a long time ago, focusing on subjects rather than on students, on quantity – not on quality, on theory – not on practice, forgetting on their mission, which is to observe, discover and nurture talent in children, preparing them for future academic and professional careers. Irregular curricula, obsolete school equipment, and traditional teaching methods are the biggest culprits that today’s children have been blocked in the past, rather than being dedicated to the future.

The market for children’s development and education has greatly increased over the past decade. Forecasts indicate that global education markets and long-term growth will grow several percent annually. In particular, this refers to transitional countries and developing countries, where there is simply a huge need for quality education. Expansion in the education market occurred precisely during the recession, which means that this sector is also developing due to the impact of economic weakness. Today, we are well aware that quality education is the best investment for the future. Therefore, the need for parents to have their children attending high-quality schools, a place where children can discover, express all their potential and cultivate their own talent, has never been greater than in modern times.

Children who are only beginning to learn basic knowledge can not know which career and opportunities will exist for 20 years. That is exactly why we exist – To bring the future today! Therefore, we believe that a wide range of disciplines is the best way to prepare children for future life and professional challenges. Today, at School & School, we provide our students with a wide range of personal experiences that develop the critical thinking skills, a sense of curiosity, and the ability to solve problems while developing creative solutions. Our “catchword” just talks about it – “The problem is a challenge for our intelligence!” The skills that children in School & School are studying are a combination of essential science and modern technologies, taking careful care of the trends that will happen in the near future. We are committed to preparing children for what is yet to come! – FUTURE. An opportunity to develop a creative environment in which we discover, develop and nurture children’s talent is something that goes beyond the system of regular and formal education in schools around the world, and especially in the countries of our region. That’s exactly why we started, developed and nursed a different school for children and teenagers!

INFORMATION ABOUT TEACHING AT SCHOOL & SCHOOL

The curriculum is designed and adapted to a child’s age from three to thirteen years. School & School is an informal school, therefore, the duration of the teaching cycle depends exclusively on the needs, affinities and preferences of the trainees, which can last from one month to nine years. Each teaching year includes a new curriculum and a higher level of knowledge, which is regularly checked at the end of the school year, and on the basis of achieved results and acquired knowledge, it is verified by internal Certificates / Diplomas. Certificate / Diploma is issued to students who have attended at least 80% of hours, who have worked and successfully passed the final test. Certificate of attendance is issued to students who have not completed sufficient hours or those who have not completed the final test.

The regular part of teaching takes place in the period from September to June (follows the traditional school year) / The summer school takes place in the period from July to August / Winter school takes place in January.

The school year lasts 8.5 months (Sep – June) or 4.5 months (Feb – June), depending on the date of enrollment. The winter break is from 01 January to 31 January.

EVALUATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND DETERMINATION OF COMPETENCES

For each teaching group and students individually, a separate logbook of the record of the results of the implemented activities of the students is kept and the formation of the final information assessment on a monthly, semi-annual and annual basis. The assessment does not have a formal character except to indicate the students’ interest in a specific curriculum or part of the program. The goal of the School & School education system is not to punish, but to constantly explore the character of each child, and then to support his most prominent quality. The journal contains results from the domain of the teaching process that records the attendance, the quality of the tasks performed, the student’s knowledge (quizzes), the activity in classes, and the final monthly test, on the basis of which the progress, working habits and motivation of the students are analyzed. An important part of the diary is the observation and recommendations of teachers that aim to help the student achieve a satisfactory result. In addition to recording and monitoring the results of the teaching process, teachers have the task, through direct observation, to determine the frequent or recurrent characteristic performance of students, all with the goal of recognizing and revealing talents in children.

For children over eight years, MI8 (Multiple Intelligence / Multiple Intelligence) is performed on the basis of which we compare the results obtained during the teaching process and the direct observation, which confirms or does not confirm the previously obtained results on the expression of certain talents for each individual student.

The objectives of the teaching process

The first goal of this holistic way of education is to provide students with the space and time during which they will have the opportunity to find their passion, and the teachers the ability to recognize students’ talent for certain activities. The second goal is to discover, develop and nurture a child’s talent. The third goal is to provide the necessary educational and pedagogical support to students in their expression. The fourth goal is to build and maintain the confidence of students at the highest level.

Public presentation of works and acquired knowledge

At the end of each semester (end of December) and school year (half of June), students present their works and acquired knowledge at school exhibitions called School & School – ShowDown Expo, during which students finally have the opportunity to confirm all their discovered and acquired potentials.
