由於每位學生都有其個別需要,故此如何照顧個別差異是學校以至每位老師的一個重要課題。根據香港教育局的融合教育運作指南,建議學校採用三層支援模式,以便因應學生不同的需要而提供適切的支援。而大多數學校均於每年的十二月起進行「及早識別和輔導有學習困難的小一學生計劃」(第一層:及早識別),並會設置輔導課,作為第二層支援的策略。作為學校負責統籌特殊教育需要的行政人員(下稱統籌主任),筆者希望透過檢視香港及不同地區對數學輔導教學的原則及策略,反思如何改善學校的小一數學輔導教學。Since each student has his or her own individual needs, how to cater for individual differences is an important issue for each teacher in schools. According to the Integrated Education Operation Guide of Hong Kong Education Bureau, it is recommended that schools should adopt a 3-tier intervention model to provide appropriate support to cater for students with different educational needs. Most schools carry out the "Early Identification and Intervention Programme for Primary One Students with Learning Difficulties" (First Tier: Early Identification) in December. Remedial classes, small group teaching and pull-out programmes will be involved as a Second Tier support strategy as well. As a school administrator (hereinafter referred to as SENCo) who coordinates the issues of special educational needs, I hope to improve the teaching of Primary One Mathematics in schools by examining the current principles and strategies of remedial teaching in Hong Kong and different regions.

During the past decade, the issue of reading difficulties has received increasing attention in Hong Kong. A recent Education Bureau mandate calls for the development of effective instructional methods based on the 3-tier model to address the diverse learning needs of our students. Following a thorough review of the relevant research literature, we attempted to utilise a peer support learning system both as a Tier 1 preventive reading programme for beginning readers and as a Tier 2 supplementary remediation programme for struggling adolescent learners. Our investigative efforts indicate that the proposed peer support reading scheme shows promise as a preventive procedure for reducing reading failure in beginning readers. However, turning this scheme into a feasible and effective intervention for older students remains a challenge to be resolved by further consolidation and investigations.
近年閱讀困難的問題愈來愈受到關注。教育局倡議應用三層支援模式去處理個別差異。我們認為朋輩支援模式可作為第一層支援小學生優質閱讀的方法，亦可成為第二層支援中學生的小組補救教學策略。初步的研究結果顯示初小班級計劃的成效不錯，但初中的小組輔導計劃所面對的難度相對較高，尚需更多的研發方能成為有效可行的策略。
