The Einstein School

I have been teaching math since 2001. This is the 5^th school I have had the opportunity to teach at.
The Einstein School is really an awesome school to be part of. The hardest part of being an educator is to teach a lesson in 55 mins to a group of 25 – 30 students, review their homework, monitor each student’s individual progress, spend some quality time working with each of them to make sure they understand the material, come up with different strategies to reteach, monitor instruction to meet each student’s individual need (i.e. special education, 504, OHI, ESL, etc.) and have time to get students prepared for their State of Texas Annual STAAR Assessments and/​or EOCs (End of Course) Exams.
What I love about teaching here, is that I have the freedom to teach. I can go back and reteach or come up with another assessment. I can get to know my students with no more than 8 students per class. We typically do not assign homework, so I am working side by side with students while they do the work. I don’t have to worry about the State Assessments because they do not apply to the Einstein School. Last school year (2013 – 2014) in their 3^rd year of operation, 18 Seniors Graduated and ALL 18 WERE ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE.
This school year (2015 – 2016) is our 5^th year in operation and we are now around 100 students and growing. About 5 new students start this week (Jan 5 – 8). One of our Seniors this school year was accepted into Auburn University last month!
If you have a child that just feels like they «don’t fit in» or are «lost in the crowd of 30 students in a class» or «feel like their teachers don’t help them or care», then visit our school. You can even attend classes for a day or so and just try it out without any pressure.
If I was ever going to design my own school, it would be something like the Einstein School. Kids do learn in different styles. Not everyone learns the same way. We have to change the way we teach.

My daughter goes here. Really love the «outside of the box» approach to education. Very caring staff and teachers.
