| Re: Kindergarten teaching and assessment in Japan As Gfell said
the preschools here leave it largely up to the schools however there are recommended books which are basically checklists arrnaged around the "norm" for a particular age
What I have found frustrating as an EC teacher is that exceptionally gifted children are ignored and slow learners are dragged along
No such thing as the Ausssie style of programming to the individual
The best schools take an assessment approach that uses a blend of Western and Eastern teachings. One such kindergarten is Maebashi International Kindy in Gunma Ken which was based on the Immersion method as innitiated by Katoh Gakuen (Mike Bostwick. ) I am sure either school would welcome your enquiries
