Learning Curve: The gradual transformation of 9th graders from self-doubt to self-advocacy

⭐️归属感 是你赖以兴盛的基础吗.

凯特·柯林斯，高中校长

当学生们到达亚洲十大网上博彩时 上学校在美国，有一种潜在的共同感觉 学校不适合我. The root of the why is highly variable for each student; maybe they were diagnosed with dyslexia at an older age or they worked hard at school but gave up when little to no progress was achieved.

伊娃 Boscolo，九年级学生

我在三年级时被诊断出患有阅读障碍. 我在罗马上的美国学校, I could go to a separate room and have extra time for my work but I wasn’t getting what I needed, 在所有. I figured that I just wasn’t great at school and that was that. My mom didn’t give up on me; that’s how she found Carroll.

When students arrive at Carroll, our first priority is getting them to 买的 学习. 我们从入学面试开始. 我们告诉学生, “到目前为止，学校一直是一项观赏性的运动, you’ve been watching your parents and teachers hash it out. 到此为止. 在卡罗，这是你和老师之间的事. 你说了算.“我们开学第一天就开始做这个. Educators get to know the kids, their profiles, their challenges, their strengths. 他们设定了可控的高期望值. 我们在这里做的每件事都是有目的的. We will give each child what they need, they need to trust us first.

The first day was nerve wracking, being in a new school and not knowing anyone. 没过多久我们就互相了解了. This community is like a woven basket—we are all individuals but we are connected. That’s what belonging is to me, feeling safe and welcomed in a place that feels like home.

The runway to high school is short from when students start at the 上学校. 我们的工作是确保它们准备好起飞. Our educators are simultaneously remediating areas of challenge while layering skills students will need to succeed in high school. 例如, 学生们努力写清楚, 逻辑, descriptive sentences while also reading multiple novels and historical texts and learning how to annotate content and take notes.

When I arrived at Carroll, I struggled with reading fluency and was very shy about reading out loud. I was in an Orton-Gillingham tutorial which helped me to practice with only my tutor, 谁那么支持我. 她花时间了解我, even finding scary stories to read after learning that I liked that genre. 她帮助我获得了信心. In English this year, we take turns reading out loud but have the option to skip. 今年我一次都没翘过课!

The process of transforming students from spectators to star players takes time and dedication with their advisors, who are there to help kids manage their work and track progress. Educators share so much feedback; every assignment is graded and handed back for review and reflection. 最近, I had a data meeting with a student who was struggling and wasn’t trusting himself or the process. 他必须亲眼目睹自己的成长，才能相信这一点.

在卡罗，你能得到你想要的. You have relationships with your teachers; you can ask for help without feeling anxious. 课程很有趣，课程也很棒，而且 Multis(尤其是艺术家和制作者)真的很独特.
