CONSULTANT TEACHERS
Link Elementary School

Two Sculptures
~
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young child's mind,
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher; the tools she used
Were books, music and art.
One, a parent who worked with a guiding hand
And a gentle, loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled
With touch that was deft and sure,
While the parent labored by her side
And polished and smoothed it o'er.
And when at last their task was done,
                                   They were proud of what they had wrought                                  
For what they molded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed he would have failed
If he had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
And behind the teacher, the home.

    As teacher consultants, our goal is to create a positive and cooperative learning environment.  We will work with your child’s teacher to individualize educational approaches to meet the specific needs of your child.

    Two highly structured multi-sensory programs that we use are the Orton Gillingham Method and the Wilson Reading Program.  Teaching exercises are action oriented with auditory, visual and kinesthetic elements reinforcing each other for optimal learning.  Writing is taught simultaneously with reading.  As students learn new material, they continue to review previously learned material.  Students are encouraged to think rather than to guess during exercises.
