Overall, it helps improve student attainment, it helps TAs with less experience plan and sequence lessons, the students thoroughly enjoy using it, and it designed for independent learning which aids in teacher work load. It also allows students to see their progress on their language and phonics journeys which helps motivate them.
Lilian Doyle found Learning Village:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I can have a group of students work on the Learning Village independently at the same time, giving me time to work 1:1 with targeted students. It has also been really helpful in helping less experienced TAs plan and sequence their lessons / support sessions.”
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“I think this is especially true with the phonics journey as we mostly use the Learning Village for phonics input and almost all students progress dramatically in their reading ages each term.”
- Moderately provides school data“It's helps us track students ability which informs part of our termly EAL assessments”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“It helps us to plan and sequence lessons. Their training also provides valuable CPD for new TAs”
- Significantly improves attainment“The phonics journey helps improve reading accuracy. Students enjoy using the Learning Village so having them do something they enjoy also helps with student attainment as it motivates them to want to learn. It's also extremely user friendly and is accessible to students as low as Year 2.”
