Hello!
I am doing some market research into micro-schooling - the concept of replacing the normal school day with a 'micro' school setting, in which 5-10 children attend a group where they receive lessons from a qualified primary school teacher.
The benefit of this type of schooling is that the curriculum can be adapted to the needs of individual children as the class is so small. Of course, there is also a benefit of the 'school' being able to remain open during mainstream school closures with no disruption to parental work schedules. Due to the very limited amount of pupils, the chances of contracting COVID-19 are far less and social distancing and 'bubble creating' is much easier.
I would love to know your thoughts on this idea as I am a qualified teacher myself with a Masters in education and have the space at my home to set something like this up, if the demand is there.
What are your concerns about a project like this? What benefits do you see in having an option like this available in your area? And what would you see a reasonable cost would be for child care and education of this kind?
Many thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Rachael
