Best Shadow Teacher Support in Singapore | Helping children integrate into mainstream school | International and Local Schools in Singapore

Children in schools are taught to develop academic skills, social skills, and independence. Teachers assist children to develop knowledge and gain an understanding of the world around them. Besides learning academics, teachers help children understand the rules of play and social interaction, sharing, and caring. However, not all children learn at the same pace as their peers and may need additional support in some areas. Not all schools in Singapore are equipped to work with children with additional needs.

 

This is where the role of the shadow teacher, or one-on-one support, begins.

What is a
Shadow Teacher?

By definition, a shadow teacher is an educational para-professional who works directly with a single child with additional needs in the school, therapy centre or home. These professionals understand a variety of learning disabilities and how to support them accordingly. Providing a shadow teacher allows the child to attend a mainstream class while receiving the extra attention that he/she needs. Shadow teachers are often referred to as paraprofessionals, student aides, and teacher aides.
