Attainment of educational goals and personalised needs
EDClass plays a pivotal role in enhancing student attainment through its comprehensive approach to teaching and learning. The platform's personalised curriculum, aligned with schemes of work, ensures that students receive tailored instruction that meets their individual needs. This personalised approach fosters deeper engagement and understanding, leading to improved academic outcomes. EDClass facilitates effective interactions between teachers and students, promoting a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Through features such as online discussions and forums, students have ample opportunities to engage with their peers and seek clarification from their teachers. These interactions contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhance students' problem-solving skills.
EDClass enables the student to learn from qualified and experienced UK teachers. The EDClass programme was created to allow students to watch, listen to and re-address English, maths, and science lessons. Also, it allows them to stop and rewind the teacher when required with different levels of support available. Our methodology and approach to online learning is unique! Our teachers are recorded delivering topics and series of lessons to build a pathway of learning that is individualised and flexible. Students complete the series of lessons with further interactive e-learning lessons and other resources as part of the topic and pathways. There are timetabled sessions, live teaching classes and on-demand lessons available for all students to catch up, progress or challenge their knowledge and understanding. There is not just one particular slot for them to learn from. Every student completes regular diagnostic tests which enable the learner to have different interactive lessons due to their gap analysis. We provide access to exams, mocks, quizzes and questions as part of the series of lessons to assess, test and monitor their knowledge, understanding and progress. This is then further strengthened by live teaching sessions for personalised learning in subjects to address the gaps in knowledge and challenge all students.
Our Assessment approach to raise attainment
EDClass also incorporates a robust assessment system that provides valuable insights into student progress. Diagnostic assessments help identify areas where students may be struggling, allowing teachers to tailor their instruction accordingly. Regular assessments provide feedback on students' learning and help track their progress over time. This is all possible due to EDClass’ process which includes 5 key steps:
Step 1: Initial Assessment: Individual learners take an initial assessment which allows us to identify the starting point a student is at and their understanding of the content they are working with.
Step 2: Gap Analysis: Our diagnostic tests can then identify and highlight specific gaps in knowledge that students have, enabling us to create personalised learning pathways to help target these areas which are perfect for a catch-up.
Step 3: Teaching and Learning: Now students can explore over 17,000 lessons and over 10,000 learning lessons with instant support from UK-qualified teachers delivering live, on-demand and recorded lessons! Teachers can be contacted face-to-face, written or instant chat, allowing students to work through their personalised learning pathway at their own pace with guidance and advice available at a click of a button.
Step 4: Continuous Assessment: It doesn’t stop there! Our lessons include questions that test students’ knowledge of the content they are learning. All answers are tracked and recorded allowing you to access and clearly track students’ scores, grades and progress during their time using EDClass.
Step 5: Track Impact: From there we can analyse students’ performance on their skills gaps and monitor the improvements they make. The tests can then be re-taken to further improve on specific areas. The process then repeats itself helping increase attainment and levels as well as further identifying skill gaps students have so they can progress to the next level of learning as well as improve their knowledge whilst learning with EDClass.
A positive environment
The platform's praise and reward system is designed to motivate and encourage students. Positive reinforcement can significantly impact student motivation and self-esteem, leading to increased effort and improved academic performance. By recognising and celebrating students' achievements, EDClass creates a positive and supportive learning environment. In addition to these core features, EDClass also offers effective intervention strategies to support students who may require additional assistance. Targeted interventions can help address specific learning challenges and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
Finally, EDClass contributes to the development of students' cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioural skills. Through interactive activities and collaborative projects, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. The platform also fosters a positive and inclusive learning environment that supports students' social and emotional development.
Working in partnerships for students outcomes
EDClass is a valuable online teaching and learning platform, designed to support students in their academic journey. However, it is important to clarify that GCSE exams are not taken directly within the EDClass platform and that no official GCSE exams are administered or taken directly within the EDClass platform.
Our role is to provide engaging, learning pathways and effective resources to complement the excellent work undertaken by our commissioning schools. Students taking GCSEs will prepare and sit for exams through their schools' designated channels, following the examination boards and assessment procedures.
The success of any student completing a GCSE exam is a direct result of the dedication and expertise of their teachers, the supportive school environment, and the student's own hard work. EDClass is proud to play a part in this collaborative effort by providing supplementary learning tools and fostering a love for knowledge.
We encourage students to reach out to their teachers and school advisors for all information regarding GCSE exams and preparation. We are proud of every achievement that our learners achieve and will share this through our students testimonials and school testimonials pages.
