Problem
The school owner sought to elevate the educational standards by refining the overall school system, with a specific focus on enhancing the curriculum and instructional materials. There was an urgent need to introduce innovative methods for teaching literacy, ensuring that students not only learned to read and write but did so in an engaging and enjoyable manner. Additionally, some teachers required a shift in mindset and attitudes to embrace 21st-century educational practices. This included adopting modern strategies for creating visually stimulating classroom environments that could enhance student learning and engagement.
Approach
We initiated a tailored, ongoing consultation process to thoroughly understand the school’s unique challenges and design relevant workshops. These workshops were structured to equip teachers with the necessary skills and strategies to meet the school's evolving needs, with a strong emphasis on practical application and continuous improvement.
Key Features of the Program
- Collaborative Discussions: Regular and structured conversations with the school owner and key stakeholders to discuss the project's objectives, progress, and areas requiring attention.
- Training Programmes: Delivery of targeted training sessions designed to address specific needs, such as Jolly Phonics, innovative teaching techniques and classroom management strategies.
- Continuous Monitoring: Regular check-ins and support were provided to ensure that teachers were effectively applying the concepts learned in the workshops.
- Customised Training: New teachers received tailored training based on ongoing evaluations to ensure they were fully integrated into the school's enhanced teaching practices.
- Observations and Evaluation: Scheduled school visits, classroom observations, and lesson reviews were conducted to assess the return on investment (ROI) and make necessary adjustments.
- Positive Client Feedback: Continuous feedback from the school owner affirmed the effectiveness of the interventions, contributing to the ongoing refinement of the programme.
Result
The intervention led to a marked improvement in the teachers’ instructional delivery and their interactions with students. The school experienced significant growth, not only in the quality of education provided but also in student enrollment, demonstrating a clear return on investment and a solid foundation for sustained success.
