TaRL (Teaching at the Right Level)
is a pedagogical approach that focuses on teaching children at their current learning level, rather than their chronological grade level.
The methodology aims to address learning gaps and ensure that students are adequately prepared for future academic challenges.
By focusing on individual learning levels, TaRL helps bridge the gap between where students are and where they need to be, fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
