A good curriculum takes in the overall structure of the course including goals, pedagogy, methodology, assessment, the syllabus, and day-to-day lesson plans. To make progress, it is vital to move forward systematically, continuously, and spirally, all the time respecting the development of the child.
Good teachers can be teachers in English-language schools, private schools, public schools, or at home. Being a good teacher has nothing to do with age or nationality. We believe that if you can speak English and teach and guide children, you can be a good teacher. This course has been designed not only with intermediate and experienced teachers in mind, but also takes into account the needs of first-time teachers.
We Can! is as teacher-friendly as we could make it, as our wish is that teachers grow alongside their students as they work through the series. Lastly, what makes good material greatly depends on what the goal or philosophy is. This course is based on the belief that good material for children is child-centered. Children have a totally different energy from that of adults and when children’s imagination is captured, they can use this energy to enjoy and learn, unconstrained by limits.
We Can! presents material systematically, continuously, and spirally, with each part able to stand on its own, but also integrating seamlessly into the whole; and the series development closely matches the development of the child. Of course, these elements are fluid and are influenced by many factors, such as the environment, the dynamics in a group, and the ability of the children. But we hope that children and teachers using this course will gain a lot in fun, enjoyment, and education, and will blossom and grow together.
