What is Training in Systematic Instruction (TSI)?
The original system conceived by Dr Marc Gold was called Try Another Way. It was developed specifically to teach people who find it difficult to learn using traditional methods, particularly people who have a learning disability.
It includes three key component elements; an organisational framework; instructional procedures/teaching strategies and a sound value base.
The system is based on three fundamental beliefs:
- People with disabilities have more potential than is often realised.
- Everyone can learn if we can figure out how to teach them
- Everyone with disabilities should have the same opportunities to live their lives as everyone else.
TSI is a tried and tested system which provides staff with training skills, which in turn can help people with learning disabilities learn new and often complex skills in employment, independent living skills and wider community activities.
