At CHOICE we refer to our “teachers” as Guides because that is what we believe they should be. Guides inspire, connect, and reflect. They offer frameworks, systems, and boundaries within which heroes can work. They are great story tellers. They propose exciting challenges and invite heroes to embark on life-changing adventures. A guide is warm hearted and tough minded. They NEVER answer questions, but instead provide choices and guide heroes to find the answers themselves. Through this, heroes learn skills such as accountability, initiative, self-direction, and problem solving. These skills create an independent learner. Learners develop the belief that they can solve any problem or challenge that they encounter along their life’s journey.
In a school governed by students, a guide helps set time constraints and does not step in and take over. A good guide allows children to be children and needs to be OK with a little chaos. Most importantly, the guide cultivates an environment of love, hope, and encouragement for EVERY learner.
