Problem
The educators at Imaad Schools required specialised training to effectively implement the Jolly Phonics method, a widely recognized approach to teaching reading and writing to young learners. The school identified a gap in the teachers' familiarity with this method, which was critical for enhancing literacy outcomes among students.
Approach
We designed a bespoke training programme that was designed and tailored specifically to meet the needs of the teachers at Imaad Schools. This programme aimed to equip educators with the necessary skills and confidence to deliver Jolly Phonics instruction effectively, fostering a more engaging and productive learning environment for their students.
Key Features of the Program
- Initial Consultations: Comprehensive discussions were held with school leadership and key stakeholders to understand the specific needs and objectives of the training. This ensured that the programme was closely aligned with the school’s educational goals.
- Designing of the Training Package: A customised training curriculum was developed, incorporating best practices and interactive elements to maximise teacher engagement and retention of the Jolly Phonics methodology.
- On-Site Delivery of Interactive Training: We delivered the training on-site at Imaad Schools, allowing teachers to participate in hands-on activities, role plays, and interactive games. This approach ensured that the learning experience was practical and directly applicable to their classroom settings.
- Positive Client Feedback: The training programme received favourable feedback from both the teachers and the school’s administration, highlighting the relevance, quality, and impact of the sessions.
Result
The participating teachers demonstrated a strong understanding and application of the Jolly Phonics method through hands-on activities, role plays, and games during the training sessions. This newfound competence was evident in their ability to effectively teach reading and writing, ultimately contributing to improved literacy outcomes for the students at Imaad Schools. The success of the training underscored the importance of tailored professional development in enhancing teaching practices and student achievement.
