The VLC is not a school but a Specialist Learning Centre. The VLC delivers a team-based process. A teaching captain is assigned to oversee the program delivery and to be the main contact with the parents who then become an integrated part of the team. Schools can then be involved as appropriate.

In the case of home schooling, the curriculum, homework tasks, testing, and the program to earn credentials and provide oversight to the curriculum is up to the distance education school. This becomes the learner’s school and the VLC will work collaboratively with the school’s contact person and will actively address all IEPs or special needs developed by that school.

Whether the student attends on site at VLC and remains as part of a class or works with a distance education school, the VLC becomes the specialist provider of one to one teaching based on the special needs of the learner in collaboration with the learner’s parents and the contact person assigned by the school.

Attention and Memory

The ability to focus intently long enough to create a cell assembly, a connected group of neurons in the brain strong enough to send their signal to the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for making a long-term memory.

This is critical in all learning and to skill development in every domain, since each step or level of achievement to mastery, creates the platform on which the next, more complex, or larger amount of learned memories must be placed, if the skill is to be usefully applied.
