Does your child spend a lot of time "spinning wheels" — working hard without getting things done? Studying, but not retaining information? Start assignments but not finish them - or just does not know where to start? Is he/she starting to struggle in some classes? Is he/she just “getting by” but with plenty of effort and feeling frustrated? Are you beginning to notice signs of learning difficulties with the increasing demands over the last one year? Is your child worried or unhappy about school?
Learn Different’s kick-start transitioning program offers students from post PSLE to Secondary 1 the opportunity to discover and practice academic skills and strategies that will improve their ability to learn and help to facilitate their “big leap” into secondary school. The program has been developed by Ms. Sharon Solomon, Founder and CEO of Learn Different. Ms. Solomon has spent the last 13 years working with diverse learners making significant changes in helping each learner discover their strengths, developing skills that suit their own learning profile, and providing an intrinsic model to learning that results in motivation, empowerment and confidence.
Our 3-day intensive kick-start program is all about learning new strategies for studying to ensure success in school. We know that everyone learns in their own unique way. Our experience with young adults suggests that a sense of self and a good insight into one's own individual learning style can make a big difference in outcomes at school.
This program specifically addresses some of the challenges students face as they transition into secondary school and teaches helpful strategies to manage their growing workload as more is expected of them. We offer a learning environment where students—and teachers—understand and share the learning journey geared towards their individual needs. Students join a learning community in which all members are dedicated to academic achievement, mutual respect, and personal change and growth.
The program will help students:
- to understand their individual learning needs
- by exposing students to various writing genres expected of them while providing basic techniques to write succinctly, and with fewer struggles
- develop better reading and study skills
- to integrate strategies and practices into core subjects
- to focus on the development of better daily habits
- develop concepts of self-understanding and self-advocacy in a nurturing, safe and challenging environment.
- work with brief texts and materials relevant to Secondary One classes
Subjects introduced: English Literature, Writing, History & Geography
