Note: When registering a student who has struggled with Mathematics in the past, schools are strongly advised to have a local support network in place. Although the on-line Distance Facilitator will be available to provide extra help, experience has shown that on-line students have a better chance of success if they also have a local contact they can call upon when they need help. This support network can be made up of mathematics teachers, student tutors, parents or guardians, etc. provided those involved have a solid grasp of the material. The student may also want to suggest someone with whom he/she is comfortable. Regardless of how the network is put in place the student must be made aware of its existence (and encouraged to use it). |
