The Baldwin Philosophy of Educational Consulting
At Baldwin Educational Consulting, our priority is to identify the most appropriate schools or programs for your child. We do this by taking the time and effort to get to know both the child and the parents. It is important that we understand the sequential progress of a student’s previous education, so, when conducting an advisory or referral, past report cards and previous test records are read carefully before the appointment. It is also crucial that parents are given adequate time to describe in detail their viewpoint and observations of their child’s personality and educational experience, as well as ask as many questions as they may have. For this reason, the two appointments comprising an Advisory service are not limited in length, and often can be quite extensive. Each child is unique and there is much more to know about them than test scores and grades, and this takes time and input from parents.
It is also a high priority of Baldwin Educational Consulting to maintain an honest, trusting relationships with all schools and programs. Our goal is to facilitate the admission process for families and schools, to provide the schools with accurate, helpful, in depth information, and to make only appropriate referrals. We strive to maintain a high level of professional integrity in every relationship and have worked diligently to earn this reputation.
As IECA members, we agree to the organization’s ethical standards, which we review and sign every year. As stated by IECA, these standards “govern the actions of consultants in their relationships with students and families, schools and colleges, and with colleagues.” We take these guidelines seriously and abide by them in all that we do.
