What is ICOT? It stands for INNOVATIVE CLASSROOMS OF TOMORROW.
From their website… With small class sizes, ICOT is committed to delivering high quality education where all students are valued and respected. Having small class sizes guarantees a high level of teacher-pupil interaction. ICOT follows a mainstream curriculum. However we cater for students with remedial and individual interventions.
I am volunteering there once a week on Fridays to do craft and cooking with the boys. There are eight young boys aged 10-15 who find learning in mainstream schools very challenging. This private school based in a modified house caters for young people with learning disabilities and autism. They are a lively bunch of polite boys. They call me "Ma'am". Last week, we made playdough. Through this one activity alone, the boys used their…
· Reading skills - deciphering a
procedure
· Maths skills - calculating and
increasing the measurements of the ingredients
· Social skills - engaging in
conversations and manners
· Fine motor skills - developing
dexterity, finger muscles and control
· Creativity - making their own
sculptures from playdough
· And they had FUN!
