每週 1-2 小時. Students are evaluated on mastery of learning goals as evidenced by preparation for class and verbal contributions to discussion and debate during class. Students will have the opportunity to contribute at least once during class. Parents will receive monthly feedback, more frequent if necessary, to encourage participation. Verbal participation is required and will be highly supported by facilitator, as needed, until students are comfortable with expressing their ideas with more independence.完成證書
