At TIAD we strive to ensure that all students have access to a broad and balanced curriculum. We take a graduated approach to differentiating and modifying our curriculum to meet the needs of our students.

Differentiated Instruction: The implementation of differentiated instructional strategies to meet the diverse learning needs of students. This includes adapting curriculum content, teaching methods and assessment approaches to meet varying levels of readiness, interests and learning styles.

Individualized Education Plans (IEPs): The development and implementation of individualized education plans for students with special education needs or disabilities. IEPs set out specific goals, adaptations and support services tailored to the student’s particular learning needs.

Learning support services: Provide specialized learning support services, such as learning resource teachers and special education teachers who work with students individually or in small groups. They provide targeted interventions and additional instruction to help students overcome learning difficulties.

Enrichment and extension activities: We offer enrichment and extension opportunities to students who need additional challenges beyond the normal curriculum. These include advanced courses, enrichment programs, research projects, participation in competitions, and extracurricular activities that stimulate higher-order thinking and deepen learning.

Peer tutoring and collaborative learning: We encourage peer tutoring and collaborative learning experiences. This fosters a sense of community, supports social interaction and enhances learning through collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing.

Parent and community engagement: involve parents and the wider community in supporting curriculum outcomes. Work with parents through regular communication, coffee mornings, workshops and involvement in school activities.
