之前在祇有四班的小學校實習,現在服務的學校有七十幾班,
可以感覺小學校師生感情確實比較好。全校就那麼百來位學生,
但是小學校的缺點就是資源少。老師才那麼幾個人,
反觀現在服務的大學校,一共有 150 位老師,每個老師除了教書的專長外,還有一些其他才能,150 位老師的這些才能可以提供學生多樣化的學習機會。
比方說就可以找到一組人對於影片剪輯有興趣的,
所以大學校資源多,提供的是另一個面向的學習經驗。
"when you have many kids in a high-needs community, you find that the smaller schools, where they are highly personalized, where they have strong partnerships and involvement with various organizations, those things really have been a successful strategy for us.""
