“Emma Goldman”
The school has implemented this year two main educational programs during Coivid-19 for purely learning process along with Blended Learning and support purposes in addition to extra- curricular activities that support the learning programs.
Blended Learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods.
It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some elements of student control over time, place, path, or pace.
Blended Learning brings together the best of both worlds – online study and face-to-face learning – helping students stay motivated and engaged.
Designed for students who have certain academic gaps in English / Arabic language and Maths.
✔ The program is implemented once per week for each subject along with the academic year.
✔ Teachers planned for a teaching material that matches their students’ needs in collaboration with other colleagues in the department and with coordinators.
✔ This program was meant to support students academically and psychologically in order to give them more confidence in their abilities.
✔ The program is evaluated by the school leaders and the teachers involved.
✔ A decision has been made to involve this group of students in English/ Arabic languages & Maths program to foster their languages skills which will aid them in Maths, Science and Social studies.
✔ As a part of this program and a complimentary procedure all teacher starting preparing additional worksheets to support their students’ diverse needs with a material that matches their abilities and helps them challenge themselves and consolidate learning in class.
✔ Parents were encouraged to allow their children to attend in the intensive learning support program.
At the beginning of the academic year, all the students had to do diagnostic test prior placement.
✔ The school does analysis for all year levels diagnostic tests as whole school study to evaluate students’ academic levels to build as scaffolding their knowledge from where they need.
✔ The program of study includes speaking, reading and writing skills.
✔ The program has a specific learning reinforcement strategy which motivates students to earn more points and to participate more and be more confident. At the end we assess students to evaluate their academic progress.
Other Learning Support Programs are conducted as fun learning clubs for all the other subjects were students learn a language, or a subject relevant skill while enjoying the fun activities.
