Improving Teaching and
Learning Through
Remediation
The benefits of remediation are transformative! Remediation allows you to
get an edge in your planning efforts and take your progress to the next
level. Remediation can promote expansion of intellectual abilities, learner
attentiveness, engagement, autonomy, critical thinking and responsibility,
to mention a few worthwhile qualities. This book presents very simple-to-
implement remediation techniques that are intended to improve teaching
and learning in a phenomenal manner. As an instructor, here’s an
opportunity to turn your hard-earned efforts into a meaningful investment
towards your personal professional development. Learners get to take
ownership of the learning process with enhanced metacognitive awareness
of their own progress. Providing food for thought and helping to
internalise the ideas presented, the text is deliberately interspaced with
carefully selected quotations from the public domain. Relevant shareware
graphics, operating under the Creative Commons Copyright licenses serve
as stimulants for further engagement and pleasure. Carrying pseudonyms
for confidentiality and anonymity, stories from my own students detail
their personal experiences with remediation.
