Day One will consist of classroom instruction. 

Small group instruction is a versatile teaching approach that empowers instructors to customize lessons according to individual student requirements and capabilities. This method considers various factors, including students' academic ability, interests, and learning preferences. By engaging in small group settings, learners are provided with focused attention, targeted support, and an environment conducive to interactive learning experiences, fostering a sense of support and engagement in their learning journey. Our instructors may use various instructional strategies, including direct instruction, guided practice, hands-on activities, discussions, and collaborative projects, depending on the lesson's goals and the students' needs.

Day 2 will consist of a two-hour internship. 

A person-centered internship focuses on the individual growth and development of the intern, placing the intern's needs, interests, and goals at the forefront of the experience. This approach prioritizes the intern's personal and professional development, aiming to provide a supportive environment where they can explore their interests, build skills, and achieve their goals.
