This requires not only a strong background of creative teaching methods but also meaningful engagement of the child into the process of learning via different strategies. This program aims to enable the participant with necessary skills to identify teaching and learning issues in a child. Following which, how to create effective educational interventions, working on core cognitive skills as well as the basic conceptual ability of reading, writing and performing functional mathematical skills. Remedial teaching also involves going back to basics for some children and then evaluating their readiness for the next level of complexity of concepts.

Description: The Inclusive Education Policy has opened up several opportunities for children with behavioural and neurodevelopmental conditions to seek admissions in most of the Inclusive school setups affiliated to IB, IGCSE, ICSE, CBSE and selected State Boards. A child with special needs can learn in a mainstream set up but may not be completely independent as per his age. Hence to assist the child in the areas of academics, social skills, behaviours and school activities at the school set up, a shadow teacher is employed. The shadow teaching course aims to train professionals with skills and qualities par excellence to understand the needs of the child and intervene with a goal of making him/ her independent. Communicating effectively and ensuring smooth coordination with school authorities and parents is also one of the core areas of the training program. Along with communication and interventions, documentation as well as progress monitoring will be an additional skill that the participant will get an exposure to.
