In the process of Talent Based Learning, there will be need for additional skills and knowledge that may be obtained from traditional academic learning units or life experiences. However, these may not require the learner to pick up an entire course but only sections of a course that is relevant to the “Prescribed Talent Focus”.
Thus a learner may pick up some course units or modules from traditional learning systems BUT with the freedom to exit such programmes intermittently and without the feeling of ‘an examination is on the way’ or with the intention of examining the learner on the course unit or module.
The organization of the learning will thus be flexible to allow the institution hosting these units or modules flexibility just like clinics would do when dealing with patients before final referral to a main hospital for final treatment.
This makes the setup of Academic Clinics to be significantly different from schools, colleges or university setups where students learn based on a known syllabus and rigid time tables.
The Academic Content Providers are thus the Academic Clinics and our member schools, colleges and universities provide these.
Academic Clinics focus on one or more key components of the curriculum and hone in on improving or enhancing these skills. Our academic clinics are offered in small group settings to reduce anxiety for some students who feel pressure under one-to-one learning. It allows for peer mentoring and confidence building. Such clinics are also cost efficient for parents.
The World Talent University works with an array of Approved and Member Schools, Colleges, Universities that provide Academic Clinics and support the Talent Based Learning through actual teaching of subjects prescribed as enrichment and support requirements.
