A Guide for Schools and Local Authorities This presentation will move from slide to slide automatically and will last less than three minutes.

Helping Learning was originally set up to support students with their revision and study when they were not in school. Using a pc and internet access, students are able to select a teacher and see and talk to them about their work wherever they are and whenever they wish. Helping Learning provides a switchboard on the internet through which teachers and students can communicate in real time. We have now developed a ‘closed user group’ solution for Schools and Local Authorities.

Our ‘closed user group’ solution could be adapted to satisfy your particular requirements. When you have viewed this presentation call us and explain what you would like to be able to do. Your chosen ‘closed user group’ could, for example, be A group of students in a school A whole school A federation or group of schools A Local Authority service

Helping Learning offers a new dimension to the idea of ‘Extended School’. Schools and colleges could arrange evening, weekend and holiday support for their students. Helping Learning could enhance the activities of Easter and Summer Schools. Schools and Colleges could use Helping Learning to provide additional support for their students at crucial times in the school year. Emergency School Closures need not present a problem - students and teachers could use Helping Learning from their homes!

Schools and Colleges could use Helping Learning to provide study support, lessons or school information for parents and others as part of their Community Provision. Cross phase curriculum support could be offered – eg for KS2 Languages. Once a School or College has registered with Helping Learning they are able to utilise the service in a variety of ways.

G&T and SEN students could benefit from individual or small group work through Helping Learning. National Strategies such as ‘One to One Tuition’ could be delivered remotely. Helping Learning can help reduce costs by enabling support to be provided over the internet. Schools could share teacher/tutors or even generate income by providing the remote support for other schools.

Imagine a school being able to use Helping Learning to support - Emotionally vulnerable children School refusers Excluded students Every school will know students who at some time or another will need to be withdrawn from class. Then there are children who find regular school attendance difficult to cope with

Helping Learning could support your provision for Children Out of School or Looked after Children including Traveller Education Hospital Tuition Home Tuition Elective Home Educators Pregnant teenagers Local Authorities could use their registration with Helping Learning to support young people in a host of different ways. Reduced travel costs and maximised use of teacher-time must make Helping Learning worthy of further consideration.
