About me
My name is Debbie Pegg
After teaching for over 25 years, adapting learning to pupils' needs and interests, I wanted to focus on those children that found getting in to school too much. I wanted to ensure they received an education, that was tailored to their interests but without the need for face-to-face contact, direct to their home. That's when I became a collaborator with Spectrum Space.
What's in a box?
The contents of each box is bespoke to different students' interests and targets.
Each box contains 10 packages. These packages include all the resources needed and the instructions on how to run or complete the learning activity. You can choose to ask a tutor to help deliver the activities, or a parent, or some children read the instructions themselves. The instructions are written in a PDA-friendly way and everything is optional with no consequences if not completed or attempted.
A few simple examples are shown below:
Testimonial:
Debbie's boxes are so well planned with a fantastic assortment of bespoke activities each week, along with well structured instructions, perfect for a low demand approach.
