Making Learning Visible for Every Learner
Flexible sensory learning that responds to individual ways of exploring, thinking and understanding.
Familiar Materials.
Varieties of Ways to Explore.
Children bring different experiences, strategies and ways of expressing their thinking to learning.
The same sensory rings, strips and Learner Cards can be revisited in different ways, giving educators flexibility to respond to the learner in front of them while maintaining familiarity across learning experiences. Children can touch, move, arrange, compare, sequence and represent ideas as they explore concepts at their own pace and communicate understanding in different ways.
Same materials.
Different learning journeys.
Making What Comes Next More Visible
For some children, familiar routines and concrete representations can provide helpful anchors throughout the classroom day. The Countdown Calendar 4Kids gives children a visible way to experience the passing of time, anticipate upcoming events and participate in familiar routines and transitions. Beyond the Calendar, sensory strips and Learner Cards create opportunities to revisit ideas through touch, movement, repetition and exploration, allowing learning to develop over time.
Time & Transitions
Make the passing of time and what comes next easier to see and experience.
Revisiting Learning
Return to familiar materials and concepts in different ways as understanding develops.
Communicating Thinking
Give children concrete materials they can use to show, represent and talk about their ideas.
Responsive to the Learner. Guided by the Educator.
Learning Support educators observe closely, listen carefully and respond to the strategies, representations and understanding children reveal through their exploration. TLSS offers flexible materials and professional resources that educators can draw on as they revisit concepts, adjust learning opportunities and consider where each child’s learning journey might go next.
