Evidence-based instruction (EBI) involves classroom methods consistent with the most reliable scientific evidence instead of personal preferences, traditions, social media trends, or other external factors. EBI consists of practices that are consistently linked to positive learning results.
Our learning programs at SKYLAS are all based on EBI with a strong focus on the ‘science of reading’. We also ensure all learning is suitable for early years with a hands-on approach to activities, as per the recommended approach which aligns to the current Kindergarten curriculum for which we are preparing the children.
