How do I use the program with children at multiple academic levels?

Using Dr. Robin’s School with children at different academic levels is entirely possible thanks to the program’s flexible design. Here’s a breakdown of how to manage it:

  1. Individualized Schedules: Each child can follow a learning schedule that suits their level. One child might thrive on Schedule C (Comprehensive), while another benefits from Schedule A (Once a Week) or B (Twice a Week). Don’t feel pressured to keep everyone on the same pace. The schedules are designed to align so that you can have everyone working on the same topic at the same time.

  2. Differentiated Activities: While the core lessons are the same, you can differentiate the supplemental activities. Older or more advanced children can tackle the more challenging worksheets, projects, and other work, while younger children can focus on the core concepts and simpler activities.

  3. Shared Learning Experiences: Some parts of the program can be enjoyed together, fostering family learning. You could do dissections as a family (if appropriate for all ages), discuss key concepts, or explore the curated video library together.

  4. Independent Learning: Older children can work more independently, managing their own schedules and exploring topics of interest on their own. Younger children might need more guidance and support from you.

  5. Leverage Quizlet: Quizlet is a great tool for differentiated learning. Each child can use Quizlet to review material at their own pace and level. Older children can create their own study sets and explore the more advanced features of the platform.

  6. “Ask Dr. Robin”: All children can benefit from submitting questions to Dr. Robin. This allows each child to get personalized answers to their specific questions, regardless of their level.

  7. Combine and Adapt: Don’t be afraid to mix and match elements from different schedules and activities. The key is to create a learning experience that works for each individual child.

  8. Focus on Understanding: Regardless of their level, the goal is for each child to understand the core concepts. Don’t get bogged down in details that are beyond their current grasp. Focus on building a solid foundation of knowledge.

  9. Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate each child’s individual progress. Avoid comparing their achievements and focus on their growth.

  10. Seek Support: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out to Nurse Jill for guidance. She can offer advice on how to best manage the program with children at different levels.
