I have always notified the parents and asked them for their interest in their child looping with the teacher. I let them know, and that they have the option of doing so (looping) or having their child in another teacher‘s grade class. I would never put a child with a teacher two years in a row without letting parents know or giving them some input. Most of the time they are very happy, however, if unhappy it’s better to get ahead of it. I include the benefits of looping. Research and data collection on looping, over the years, have shown numerous advantages including the following:

● Stronger student/teacher relationships

● Less time spent initiating beginning of the year classroom expectations and routines

● Increased consistency for students

● Reduced apprehension regarding the upcoming school year

● Familiarity with teaching/learning styles

● Increased instructional time leading to increased student achievement.

● Stronger parent relationships

● Opportunities to better differentiate and individualize content to meet student needs.

● Improved attendance and fewer retentions

● Stronger sense of community in the classroom
