Our 14-Week Methodology

Understanding the 14-Week Cycle

At Week14, our core lies in the meticulously designed 14-Week Cycle methodology. This isn't just a schedule; it's a comprehensive, adaptive framework built on the principles of engagement, consistent progress, and celebration of achievement. It's designed to address the unique challenges of resistant learners and non-readers, turning frustration into fascination.

Phase 1: Diagnosis & Foundation (Weeks 1-2)

Every journey begins with understanding. We conduct in-depth assessments to pinpoint the root causes of resistance or reading difficulties. This phase involves:

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment: Identifying learning gaps, cognitive styles, and emotional barriers.
• Parent & Student Interviews: Gaining insights into home environment, past experiences, and aspirations.
• Personalized Goal Setting: Collaboratively setting realistic and inspiring short-term and long-term goals.

Phase 2: Engagement & Skill Building (Weeks 3-10)

This is where the transformation accelerates. We implement tailored strategies and curricula, focusing on active engagement and foundational skill development:

• Tailored Curriculum Delivery: Utilizing our internationally recognized English and Math curricula, integrated with IB philosophy.
• Interactive Learning Sessions: Incorporating innovative games (especially for 'Help Me Read'), project-based learning, and real-life applications.
• Continuous Feedback & Adjustment: Regular check-ins and adaptive teaching methods to ensure optimal progress.
• ATL Skills Integration: Explicitly teaching Approaches to Learning skills (Communication, Social, Self-management, Research, Thinking) to foster independent learners.

Phase 3: Consolidation & Achievement (Weeks 11-14)

The final phase focuses on solidifying gains, celebrating milestones, and preparing for sustained success:

• Progress Review & Consolidation: Reinforcing learned concepts and addressing any remaining challenges.
• Achievement Celebrations: Implementing a carefully designed reward system that motivates without spoiling, tailored to the student's personality and family values.
• Future Planning & Transition: Equipping students and parents with strategies for continued growth and seamless transition to new academic challenges.
• Baseline School Admission Test Preparation: For relevant students, this phase includes targeted preparation for school admission tests, ensuring they are confident and ready.

Why the 14-Week Cycle Works:

Our methodology is effective because it is:

• Holistic: Addresses academic, emotional, and motivational aspects of learning.
• Adaptive: Tailored to each student's unique needs and progress.
• Engaging: Makes learning fun and relevant, especially for resistant learners.
• Results-Oriented: Focused on measurable progress and tangible achievements.
• Parent-Inclusive: Empowers parents with understanding and tools to support their child's learning journey.
