WILSS Learning Experience

WILSS designs its programmes keeping in mind the uniqueness of every school, community, and workplace.  Through feedback and collaboration, our programmes are designed to be relevant and specific to the needs of the learners.

Our aim is to help our learners develop their confidence, become connected and actively involved within their school, community, and beyond.

Programmes incorporate skill development, self-esteem and motivation development, self-presentation skills and work confidence.

Our programmes are pathways towards employment, further education opportunities or up-skilling in current roles.

WILSS does not treat learning experiences as 'one off' events and accordingly some of our programmes comprise the use of a learning cycle involving four steps:

Experience – Learners need to be involved in activities from which learning points can be extracted.

Review – Learners need time to reflect on the experiences they have had. They need to consider what has happened to them and why things occurred the way that they did.

Seek conclusions – After having reflected, learners need to develop conclusions about the situations they were in and then extract points on how these can be applied in the future.

Plan – Conclusions should raise further questions that can form the basis for further experimentation, experiences and development.
