The Porter Process
"The Porter Process" is a methodology developed by Dr. Patricia Porter, to assist parents in fostering their children's learning abilities. It is unique because it specifically focuses on empowering parents to effectively support their children's learning. The process is rooted in her extensive research and practical experience in education. It emphasizes the critical role parents play in their children's academic journey. The approach is tailored to help parents understand and apply strategies that can create a conducive learning environment at home, thereby enhancing their child's academic success and overall learning experience.
Who is Dr. Porter?
I trained in the early ’60s (yes, I am that old!) and taught a variety of classes in the UK and Canada. I loved teaching but I had one question that no one seemed able to answer.
Why did some kids learn more easily than others? I knew it wasn’t so called ‘intelligence’ that made the difference because I worked with bright kids who were struggling to learn.
So what was the answer? It took me years of specialist training, personal research and help from parents to find the answer. And it was so simple and profound that it changed my life. And it can change yours too. I discovered that students who were good learners knew HOW to learn. They had developed the skills that made learning easy.
The next part of the question was who had helped them develop those skills? I knew that it wasn’t teachers. They are too busy getting through the curriculum to spend much time on skill development. That left parents. It was parents who had given their children skills that enabled them to succeed in school.
