There are three general styles of learning that children will fall into. This is based on extensive research on learning styles and multiple intelligences. Many children will go between these three styles depending on the activity or their confidence in the task they are performing, and some will predominantly only learn via one style.
It is important in the Functional Education classroom that we provide opportunities at every lesson for the child to experience the learning in all three of these styles.
Usually children possess qualities for all three of these learning styles and will change as they mature.
Catering to the children’s learning needs is paramount in the Functional Education classroom and here is a sample of how we do just that:
Illustrations, maps and instructions in written form on the black board.
Opportunities to create posters and visual presentations
Colourful cards and graphics for spelling
Flow charts for project planning
Stories told aloud by the teacher
Rhythm and drama voice activities including poetry and recitation
Opportunities to present work using speech
Daily music lessons and often singing
Lots of manipulatives for hands-on learning
Games, construction and tactile resources for learning
Lab or maths equipment to run experiments and find own answers to questions
Colourful cards for spelling
Opportunities to move around during learning
Brain warm up activities
Up to 2 hours of lessons a day, plus hands on activities means you can easily give your child a quality education at home.
