Next Practice in Resourcing Personalisation - Villiers High School

The virtual school

The field trial will seek to test the concept of the virtual school through piloting its use within a four week unit of learning for Science, English and Maths in Year 9 and Year 12. Students will use the "virtual school" during their timetabled Science, English and Maths lessons. The school teachers will use these lesson times to offer small group tutorials and drop-in sessions enabling more personalised learning. The virtual school will enable students to learn independently and to continue their learning beyond the school day. Students will never meet their 'virtual' teachers, but will be supported via email and phone contact. The "virtual" teacher will check on progress, mark assignments and identify those students needing additional support. Students will also have the opportunity to communicate with other students following the same course in a safe ‘chat room'.
