School strategies and policies
Hold meetings with parents to understand the situation such as the history of students and past or current strategies adopted at home
Organize additional tutorial classes i.e. pulling out for students with poor academic performance
Set individualized objectives (target cards) for students for different subjects. For example, students may be required to speak out at least once during English class while for mathematics, it is to subject assignments on time.
Suggest alternative learning institutions so students can receive the proper support for their education
Teaching strategies
Remove objects from the learning environment which can distract students from the lessons such as books or notes from other subjects and computers
Set tasks which appeal to interests and needs of various students
Allow students to produce various types of work in demonstrating their abilities
Set goals which are individualized so students are focused on their own improvements rather than competing with their peers
Provide additional support through individual tutoring or alternative ways of communication through emails or social media such as Whatsapp
Encourage peer teaching so students do not need to solely rely on teachers but can make sure of other sources of knowledge in their learning
Use multimedia to exposure students to knowledge beyond written texts such as videos and audio recordings
