Effective Understanding of engagement & impact

Gaialytics, our impact & progress tracking tech gives schools and families clarity over their learner engagement, activities and progress over time.

Learner First

We focus on the needs of the learner, supporting them as they move through their journey.

Many learners start in Phase A at our Tier 1 level and move through to becoming independent learners and re-integrating into alternative physical education settings.

When learners leave Gaia Learning they typically have 3 destinations:

• Back into a physical, mainstream school
• Back into a physical, SEN school
• Onto a physical Alternative Provision

Learners can stay with us for as long as they need to, typically this is 12-24 weeks, acting as a restbite from mainstream school or for homeschooled families, the acknowledgement that Gaia Learning are specialist provision to meet their needs.

Gaia Learning creates a positive impact on the world by making education more inclusive, accessible, and engaging, particularly for neurodivergent learners.

1. Personalised & Inclusive Education

Tailored Learning – Gaia Learning adapts to each learner’s unique needs, ensuring they thrive in a supportive and flexible environment.

Neurodivergent-Friendly – The platform is designed to remove barriers that traditional education often presents, offering sensory-friendly, structured, and interactive learning.

2. Empowering Learners Beyond Exams

Skills for Life – Gaia Learning goes beyond standard curriculums, equipping learners with critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Real-World Connections – Courses integrate STEM, history, and literacy with exciting themes (e.g., space travel, fashion, and magic) to make learning meaningful and engaging.

3. Breaking Systemic Barriers in Education

Equity in Learning – Gaia Learning ensures that no learner is left behind, offering alternative pathways to success.

Support for Families & Schools – The platform coaches educators, parents, and institutions in inclusive teaching approaches, bridging the gap for learners who may struggle in mainstream settings.

4. Sustainability & Future-Focused Learning

Sustainable Thinking – By incorporating eco-conscious learning, Gaia Learning inspires students to think about the future of the planet and ethical responsibility.

Technology & Innovation – Learners engage with emerging trends, from AI to space science, preparing them for careers of the future.

5. Building a Supportive Community

A Safe & Encouraging Space – Gaia Learning fosters a community where learners, parents, and educators feel valued and supported.

Advocacy for Change – By promoting awareness of neurodivergent needs, Gaia Learning challenges outdated educational norms and creates better opportunities for all learners.

Regulation

Our learners are supported in self-regulation in live classes. This can also be linked to providing a ‘safe’ space; somewhere where there are no ‘wrong’ answers & inaccuracies are addressed positively, but also somewhere where learners do not feel pressurised.

Learning

Once all this is in place, then learning can begin. But learning also needs to recognise the possible impact of Trauma; it is well differentiated at Gaia Learning, with activities linked to learners’ passions and goals.

Feeling Safe

Learners need to have a clear understanding of what is expected of them, there needs to be clear, predictable and understood routines and systems that everyone follows, and there needs to be healthy boundaries.

Communication is also an essential element of safety, with the use of positive language and clam use of body-language and understanding of non-verbal messages we give off. The adults need to be self-aware of the signals they give to students.

Connection

Following on from safety, learners need to feel that they belong. Our team know learners by name, and have knowledge of each learner's passions and interests. These are included in planning and delivery, so as to encourage involvement in lesson content.
