Online Learning with Nisai Pedagogy Supports
Students who are can not attend school due to: Distance Physical impairment or illness Interruption of studies due to pregnancy, role as carer,
going into care, youth offending Students who dropped behind or are disengaged
from school and have trouble in a normal classroom
Students with certain special needs, e.g., autism, ASD, OCD
Nisai Online Learning is not a MOOC
It is not a self-paced, self-study program
1. Real teachers2. Structured, scheduled “live” lessons3. A learning community for our students
outside of the classroom
Our Current Post 16 Students
What Nisai Post 16 students are currently studying:
Overcoming Learning Barriers - SEN
“My barriers all had to do with the face-to-
face and close-contact involvement that
mainstream schools have.
Online learning basically eradicated those barriers, what with it being online and not in a cramped
classroom.
It's given me a lot more confidence knowing
that I can fit my learning and exams
around me, which was stopping me before.”
Why it works…Students enjoy it – it is different– breaks the cyclePrejudices are eliminated – anonymity allows a fresh startFreedom to learn without being made fun of Technology provides focus and quiet which many autistic students needProven pedagogy with a blended & collaborative approachLesson durations geared towards maximising progressTeachers qualified to work with students with additional challengesMix of academic and wellbeing programmes and supportAdded use of recorded lessons boosts results
