Remediation

Remediation
In remediation, teachers try to correct a deficit rather than teach students to cope with the deficit.
Through remediation activities or lessons, teachers help a student improve his skills through direct instruction.

Remediation
Reteaching
Teachers present the information to the student again. If a student struggles with solving a math equation, for example, the teacher simply shows him the method again. Reteaching is used when a student simply needs more exposure to the subject before he is able to internalize it.

Suggested Strategy

Remediation
Alternative Instructional Strategies
These strategies are often based on students' individual learning styles. For example, if the student does not comprehend material from a lecture on the parts of speech, the teacher might have her work with a partner to make a poster on parts of speech using pictures cut from a magazine. If a student is a kinesthetic learner, she will learn concepts better with hands-on activities. Remediation often includes multiple teaching styles to reach students with various learning styles.

Suggested Strategy

Remediation
Task Analysis

Task analysis is the process of breaking a skill into smaller components. Teachers can remediate the skill by teaching these components in sequence. Task analysis helps the teacher to see what part of the process is causing difficulty for the student. When teaching a child to write his name, the teacher may break the task into smaller parts and determine he has a poor pencil grasp. The student can be instructed on the correct way to hold a pencil, thus improving the entire skill.

Suggested Strategy

Remediation
Additional Practice

Students may require additional practice to master skills. Computer skills practice programs and skill practice games are effective ways to provide additional practice for struggling students.

Suggested Strategy

Remediation
One-on-One Tutoring

Tutoring is typically one child with one teacher. Tutoring involves direct instruction focused on a student's deficit areas. Tutoring is extremely effective for remediation, but it is time-consuming.

Reinforcement
This theory was developed by the behaviourist school of psychology, notably by B.F. Skinner earlier this century (Laird 1985, Burns 1995). Skinner believed that behaviour is a function of its consequences. The learner will repeat the desired behaviour if positive reinforcement

Reinforcement
Burns notes that much Competency Based Training is based on this theory, and although it is useful in learning repetitive tasks like multiplication tables and those work skills that require a great deal of practice, higher order learning is not involved.

Enrichment
Enrichment activities expand on students' learning in ways that differ from the methods used during the school day. They often are interactive and project-focused.

Enrichment
They enhance a student's education by bringing new concepts to light or by using old concepts in new ways. These activities are fun for the student, but they also impart knowledge. They allow the participants to apply knowledge and skills stressed in school to real-life experiences.

Enrichment
Enrichment activities are characterized by a high degree of interaction and a project focus. The common theme is that academic concepts are taught through a fun, engaging activity rather than by direct instruction.

Enrichment
Theater Enrichment
The classes focus on strengthening skills such as creativity, public speaking, and spontaneity through improvisational games and acting exercises. Teachers are then able to incorporate the activities into their lesson plans as they see fit in order to sustain what the students have learned.

Suggested Strategy

Enrichment
Indoor Enrichment
Students may voluntarily sign up for different clubs that are held during indoor activities or during cooperative learning/Fun Learning Day.

Suggested Strategy

This scheme will make teachers become more subject-focused and will have more time to prepare the necessary and appropriate instructional materials.

 Traditional

Team Teaching both teachers actively share the instruction of content and skills, both teachers accept equal responsibility for all pupils and both teachers are actively involved throughout the class.

 Lead

and support Teaching one teacher leads the lesson assuming responsibility for teaching the content, the other teacher provides support and follow up activities.

 Differentiated

split-class team teaching The class is divided into two groups according to a specified learning need. Each group is provided with activities to meet that specified need

Improved teaching and learning Less correcting Less Stress More Support Greater sense of achievement Opportunity to learn new methodologies Less time spent on discipline - instant gratification/less boredom/two sets of eye

Teachers should have time to track the progress the children in every subject/learning area and to identify competency-relates factors affecting their performance in the subject, and to be able to provide appropriate interventions whenever necessary

Regular monitoring and supervision by the school heads is a must to assure effective and efficient implementation of the special instructional programs and team teaching scheme.

http://www.aepam.edu.pk/Files/Public ations/Training_Manual_for_Monitoring_ and_Supervision.pdf

Monitoring and Supervision are two complementary functions which often serve the same purposes. As such, supervision forms part of an overall monitoring system.

Identify at least three competency-related factors affecting pupils/students performance (in all learning areas) and suggest appropriate intervention respectively.
