Dr. Robin’s School is designed to be flexible and adaptable, making it easy to use with multiple children, even if they’re at different academic levels. Here’s how:
- Individualized Schedules: Each child can follow the learning schedule that best suits their needs and learning style. One child might thrive on Schedule C (Comprehensive), while another benefits more from Schedule A (Once a Week) or B (Twice a Week). There’s no need for everyone to be on the same schedule.
- Combined Schedule Downloads: To simplify planning for multiple children, we offer combined schedule downloads. These resources allow you to download all the necessary materials for each child while maintaining a coordinated learning plan. You can download combinations such as A+B, A+C, B+C, or even A+B+C, ensuring everyone stays on the same page (even if they’re covering different material).
- Shared Learning Opportunities: While each child can work at their own pace, some aspects of the program can be enjoyed together. Watching dissection videos (if appropriate for all ages), discussing key concepts, or exploring the curated video library as a family can create shared learning experiences.
- Independent Learning: Older children can be encouraged to work more independently, managing their schedules and exploring topics of interest on their own. Younger children might require more guidance and support from you.
- Differentiated Activities: While the core lessons are the same for everyone, you can differentiate the supplemental activities. Older or more advanced children can tackle the more challenging worksheets, projects, and independent research, while younger children can focus on the core concepts and simpler activities.
- Leverage Quizlet: Quizlet is a fantastic tool for differentiated learning. Each child can use Quizlet to review material at their own pace and level. Older children can even create their own study sets and explore the more advanced features of the platform.
- “Ask Dr. Robin”: All children can benefit from submitting questions to Dr. Robin. This allows each child to get personalized answers to their specific questions, regardless of their academic level.
- Focus on Understanding: The primary goal is for each child to understand the core concepts. Don’t worry about them memorizing every detail, especially if it’s beyond their current grasp. Focus on building a strong foundation of knowledge.
- Celebrate Individual Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate each child’s individual progress and achievements. Avoid comparing their learning to their siblings and focus on their growth and understanding.
- Open Communication: Encourage open communication about the material. Create a space where your children feel comfortable asking questions and discussing what they’re learning.
- Flexible Approach: Remember, flexibility is key! Don’t be afraid to adjust schedules or activities as needed to accommodate each child’s learning style and pace. The program is designed to work for you, not the other way around.
Learning Schedules for Multiple Students:
Families with multiple students can easily coordinate their learning, even if the children are at different academic levels. We’ve made it easy for everyone to stay on the same page by offering combined schedule downloads:
- Schedules A & B Combined
- Schedules A & C Combined
- Schedules B & C Combined
- Schedules A, B, & C Combined
These combined schedules allow you to download all the necessary materials for each child while following a coordinated plan. This makes it simple to manage learning for multiple students, even when they’re working at different levels.
