Kids on the Yard Small Group learning fosters an environment that meets every student’s individual needs.
Many schools and parents need the support of quality educators for learning needs and special education students during school hours. Students and specialists engage in the regular classroom interaction and then separate into a particular area to review instruction from class. In some cases, the educator will use the same material from class and modify it to the small group of student-specific needs. Small group instruction provides instructional support, differentiated instruction, and services in the areas of instruction, behavior, and communication. In addition to working closely with students in general education settings, specialists also close the learning gaps of their students in small groups.
