Group Effort!

What is collaborative teaching?

Many educational institutions still use a "top-down" approach to teaching, and emphasise achievement and meritocracy as a means to motivate learning.

This ensures general classroom management but does little to nothing for the student's intrinsic motivation to learn or to build positive relationships with teachers and classmates.

We believe in a collaborative approach across stakeholders -we integrate therapy into the academic programme with a team of specialists including counsellors, psychologists, occupational and speech therapists, and naturalistic behaviour interventionists who utilise the collaborative teaching approach to support our students.

How do students benefit from it?

Collaborative teaching fosters open communication between teachers and students for students to achieve their educational outcomes more effectively.

Staff members provide a safe learning environment, assuring students that their feelings are valid and that the teacher supports them, no matter what.
