General Guidance
Shift and Progression
Efficient Communication:
For a seamless transition, it is crucial that teachers are equipped with:
-
- An understanding of each learner’s prior achievements and potential capabilities at the start of the academic year.
- Insight into the curriculum already covered by students.
- Clarity about the topics and content planned for the forthcoming sessions.
Inter-Phase Communication:
Clear communication channels between educators across different academic phases, as well as year-to-year within an institution, are paramount. This ensures that the needs of gifted and talented learners are met adequately. When students transition between classes or institutions, the conveyed information should encompass:
-
- Their learning preferences.
- Specific areas of strength and aspects that need attention.
- Demonstrations of creativity and leadership.
- Overview of topics they have been exposed to.
- Objectives set for their growth and learning.
Effective communication isn’t limited to paperwork; face-to-face discussions and meetings are equally vital in understanding and planning for a student’s academic journey.
