Why differentiate when students write standardized tests? 🧩 The beauty of every class is its variability of students. Just as everyone has unique fingerprints, so is the uniqueness of every learner's learning style and means of assimilating information. 📌 But, of course, the skeptics chime, "Why bother differentiating when students have to take standardized tests anyway?" 🤔 Excellent question, Differentiation is about ensuring every learner grasps the material. And when they do, guess what? standardized tests become less of a nightmare and more of a breeze. 📌 So, how do we navigate the differentiation dilemma in our classrooms? Let's use the CPR Approach. 📌 Content: Address different levels of complexity. 📌 Process: Use diverse strategies like group work, hands-on activities, and think-pair-share. 📌 Response: Allow learners to demonstrate their understanding in a variety of ways. 🙏 By navigating these strategies, educators can ensure that every student not only meets but exceeds learning expectations. #DifferentiatedLearning #EducationalEquity #StudentSuccess

The “first teacher” - includes the adults that contribute to the child’s learning. The “second teacher” - includes the child’s peers. The “third teacher” - includes the space in which one learns. With this approach in mind, it is important to put careful thought into the intentional design of a student learning space.

Learning how to learn is not on the school syllabus? 📚❌ Neither is:  - How to revise 📝  - How to prioritise your subjects 📊  - How to deal with exam overload 🤯 If you are lucky, the school may put on a revision seminar and teachers may suggest techniques to try. However, none of these are tailored to the individual student as teachers don’t have the time to deviate from teaching their subjects. Neither do they have the expertise in teaching study skills. 🕒🏫 The Study Success Programme is designed to help students discover THEIR best way to study and revise. ✨📘 Every student on the programme will discover the following:  - Their natural learning preferences. 🧠  - How to tailor revision tools to fit their learning brain. 🔧  - How to plan and prioritise their own studies. 📅  - Gain confidence in their ability to recall information using the revision cycle. 💪  - See an improvement in their grades. 📈 The programme is delivered by a mixture of workbooks, videos, and small group coaching calls for every module. 📖🎥📞 Numbers are kept small so that every student gets the attention they need. In addition to all this, there are 6 121 coaching call with myself to ensure each student is getting the best from the programme. 🎓📲 If you have a teenager in years 9, and 10 and you want to give them an unfair exam advantage, please get in contact to see if the programme is right for them. 🚀📩 #StudySuccess #ExamPrep #TailoredLearning #EducationReform #StudentSuccess #LearnToLearn #EducationInnovation

With CBSE thinking of “Open book exams” (OBE) and rolling out a pilot study for Classes 9 to 12 this Nov/Dec for certain subjects, it’s going to be a game-changer for the old-school education which kind of stuck in the past for ages. In a Digital world where information is just a click away, OBE is all about ditching the old memorization game. Instead of copying stuff from books, students would have to show they get the big picture and can use their brains for some analytical skills. But it won't be a walk in the park as OBE is like a rollercoaster ride through the land of challenges where students must go beyond memorizing and show off the real understanding. Our education system might get a makeover soon and I am eagerly looking forward to say goodbye to boring & mindless memorization and hello to using your brain for real.
