How we teach

How Online Teaching Works

Read Meta School have harnessed the power of technology to develop a system that works. No matter where our pupils are in the world, we can deliver the standard of teaching that supports their achievement and drives their development. Once your child enrols, we provide access to their online school classroom where they can find class pages for each of their chosen subjects. On this platform, pupils can access learning materials, message the teacher, submit homework and socialise with fellow pupils.

When it’s time for a lesson, our pupils log in to an online classroom where they’re welcomed by their teacher and classmates. The lessons are varied and engaging, with the chance to keep in constant communication with the teacher and other pupils through voice, text or interactive presentation.

With classes kept to a maximum of 20 pupils, there’s plenty of scope for one-to-one interaction and support. And, with ‘break-out rooms’, the teacher can split the class into groups, while our ‘hands up’ feature gives pupils the chance to ask questions.

Each lesson lasts for an hour, then the teacher sets a homework assignment to build on what they’ve covered in the classroom.

A sophisticated cloud based learning platform with fully interactive classrooms

During the lesson, pupils communicate with the teacher and each other through a wide variety of medium. Voice, text, whiteboard, notes, recordings, presentations, screen sharing and co-web browsing are just a few options. Individual pupils can be asked to work through specific examples, share their work or lead the class. By giving every pupil the opportunity to directly and privately message the teacher it means that no question is ever left unspoken or unanswered.

A cloud-based school where learners access all their resources and lesson recordings all day, every day

Each course provides access to the entire subject curriculum; this is available to access at anytime from anywhere. All lessons are digitally recorded and once a lesson has been delivered, pupils can review the lesson recording. Subject materials can help pupils track down exactly what they need. It is a fantastic resource to support pupils to consolidate their learning, master tricky concepts and prepare for examinations.

If for any reason a pupil has missed a lesson (i.e. sickness) they can watch the entire lesson via this digital archive.
