Reduce class sizes, more support for students


Reduce class sizes, more support for students
The Issue
Smaller class sizes at N.J Macpherson would exponentially benefit learners with disabilities as they are disproportionately impacted by large classes
Children are entering the school system at a tender age and require teacher attention and support which can be availed at smaller class sizes. BC has legislated 15 children per class
Students get to know each other better
There is less disruption and more time for instruction leading to individually tailored education
The teacher is less- overworked meaning they are in better health and state to teach the class
research shows that students in smaller classes perform better in all subjects and on all assessments when compared to their peers in larger classes
This being a COVID year, smaller sizes also reduce the risk of outbreaks should Corona virus enter the school system
Children will have space to better enjoy Montessori work. Currently most of the classes are over packed
Children can have better mental health- many have shown signs of anxiety and are visibly affected by the large class size particularly in JK Montessori. There is already a lot of change and stress on the kids, class sizes should not be on of them
