Short tasks (3-5 mins), small class sizes, specific training for teachers, assess for gaps/misunderstandings early on in the programme, teach skills step-by-step, ensure there is time for repeated practise of skills, revisit previously learned skills regularly, use multi-sensory learning where possible, ensure teachers keep up to date with current practise, discuss students’ progress/areas of difficulties weekly and plan next tasks after reflecting on this information, encourage students to believe in themselves, keep parents regularly updated on feedback (and teachers at the home school), encourage students to talk about their learning and become self-motivated, setting goals for themselves and looking for intrinsic rewards related to their learning, provide support/training for teachers/parents where possible. Enjoy our work!
