The Project Team (currently known as the Project Management Team) spent weeks preparing for April 15th, the first day of the E2E classes.
In March, they conducted an assessment to gauge the students' understanding of various topics. With that knowledge in mind, we created Schemes of Work (SOWs) for every age group. At the same time, tutoring volunteers were onboarded and introduced to E2E.
Finally, everything was in place: the timetables, Kahoot! quizzes - an online competitive score-based lesson tool, tutors ready to conduct their first lessons.
What ensued were weeks laced with bumps. The SOWs prepared for Lower Primary proved too difficult for the kids; significant adjustments had to be made. In the first few weeks, the tutors and students were virtually strangers, making it tough for tutors to communicate with the children, in addition to the present challenges of online classes.
But, as time would have it, both parties settled into an understanding of each other. Instead of introducing new concepts every week, the tutors sought to focus on the children's understanding of a topic. The children, warming up to their respective tutors, began to feel more comfortable asking and answering questions, even initiating the occasional banter that brought laughter to everyone 😂.
Halfway into the Version, Science, a new subject to most students, was introduced to them. We quickly realised that the kids had a particular aptitude for Science because of their curious nature and promptly focused on teaching topics most relatable to them, such as the human organ systems.
June arrived, and it came bearing assessments. Of course, there were the traditional paper-based assessments, but the tutors included other activities for students to put theories into practice. For example, we gave the secondary students the task of folding a cube and a lid for it from a piece of A4 paper, using their knowledge of ratios to work out the measurements for their template. The upper primary students were allocated a budget for planning a holiday according to a table listing the various rental, entertainment, accommodation and meal costs.
