Remedial and Learning Support

Thinkahead’s remedial and learning support are educational interventions designed to help your child academically.

Our remedial educators target the specific areas that your child is struggling with.  We provide extra tutoring to help your child catch up on material they may have missed or not understood in the past.  Remedial support can assist if your child is performing below grade level or is at risk of falling behind.

Learning support programs encompass a range of interventions designed to support your child’s overall academic progress.  This might include things like study skills training, time management strategies, or help with organisation and planning.  Learning support can be useful for students who are struggling with a particular subject, but it can also be helpful for students who simply need extra guidance and support in managing their workload and staying on track.

Steps

The steps involved in our remedial and learning support program varies depending on the specific needs and circumstances of your child.  However, here are some common steps we incorporate in our services:

1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT

The first step is usually to assess your child’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as their learning style and preferences.  This may involve tests, observations, or interviews with both the child, parent and at times the teachers.

2. GOAL SETTING

Based on the assessment, specific goals are then set for your child to work towards.  These goals are measurable, achievable and realistic.

3. PLANNING

Once the goals have been set, a plan is created for how to achieve these goals.  This often involves identifying specific skills or concepts that need to be addressed, as well as selecting appropriate instructional strategies and resources.

4. IMPLEMENTATION

The plan is put into action, with your child receiving targeted instruction and support to help them meet their goals.

5. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Throughout the remedial or learning support process, your child’s progress is monitored and evaluated to ensure that they are making progress towards their goals.  Adjustments to the plan is made as needed based on your child’s performance and feedback.

At Thinkahead the key to effective remedial and learning support is the tailoring of our interventions to the specific needs and circumstances of the child, and the data-driven approach to ensure that progress is being made towards measurable goals.
