The “Week-Ahead” Program
The Vancouver Learning Centre (VLC) works in collaboration with schools and the child’s teachers to preview basic vocabulary concepts and procedures in the school curriculum coming in the week ahead. This helps overcome classroom stress and sets the child up to be successful in school.
The “Week-Ahead” program has long been a hallmark of VLC collaborative approaches with schools. In this approach vocabulary concepts and procedures are “frontloaded” or previewed just in time. Students become familiar with the vocabulary of the subject and more primed when the subject is explored in class. The strength of this program is that the students’ confidence is built because when the subject is introduced in school they will be hearing both the language and the concepts for the second time.
