An SIM (Strategic Intervention Material) is a remedial teaching tool meant to reinforce concepts and skills that students did not fully learn in the classroom. It focuses on a single skill, has no pre- or post-tests, and includes engaging activities. An SIM is differentiated from a module in that a module may cover multiple topics, is intended for regular classroom use with assessments, and reinforces fun learning. An effective SIM includes various card types that provide an overview, present the skill and tasks, assess mastery, and allow enrichment. Activities adhere to learning principles and are competency-based, with checkpoints to ensure alignment with objectives.
