Problem
Optimalpath Consulting Ltd, an educational organisation committed to empowering individuals and organisations with literacy skills, had long recognized the persistent challenges related to reading and writing proficiency among elementary learners. Operating across the UK and Nigeria, they sought to address these issues by delivering tailored training programmes to educators, both in private organisations and government sectors. The aim was to elevate the standard of literacy education by equipping teachers with innovative, effective teaching methodologies.
Approach
A series of meticulously curated training packages were developed, focusing on equipping educators with the necessary skills to teach reading and writing to elementary learners using the Jolly Phonics approach. The training was designed to be comprehensive, interactive, and adaptable to the specific needs of the educators, ensuring that they could effectively implement these methods in their classrooms.
Key Features of the Program
- Consultation Sessions: Initial consultations involved in-depth discussions to understand the specific needs and expectations of Optimalpath Consulting Ltd, ensuring the training would align with their objectives.
- Project Planning: Detailed discussions were held to establish clear project expectations, timelines, and deliverables, followed by formal agreements on project terms.
- Trainer Coordination: Regular meetings with trainers were conducted to synchronise teaching practices and ensure consistency in the delivery of the training program.
- Training Delivery: The training sessions were executed over an extended period, lasting from several weeks to months, depending on the scope and depth required. These sessions were designed to be highly interactive, incorporating practical exercises, role-playing, and real-time feedback.
- Reporting: Comprehensive reports were prepared post-training, detailing the progress, feedback, and outcomes of each session. These reports were crucial for assessing the impact of the training and planning further interventions if necessary.
- Financial Implications: The project also included clear agreements on payment terms and schedules.
Result
The training programme yielded significant success, with participants demonstrating marked improvements in their teaching practices and literacy outcomes among their students. The effectiveness of the training has led to repeated engagements, with clients consistently requesting further services. This continued partnership underscores the value and impact of the tailored educational solutions provided.
