The Learning Support department’s charge is to empower all students to develop self-efficacy, independence, and to reach their full potential while nurturing their strengths through an inclusive culture that honors and celebrates diversity. Always with the aim of providing appropriate educational services for the benefit of the student, Learning Support services are provided in English, the language of instruction across the curriculum, and in the least restrictive environment for students in grades EC through 12th.
ラーニングサポートの教師は、必要に応じて生徒をサポートするために、各部門の生徒サポートプロセスの中で協力し合っています。これらの段階的支援の一部には、EC/ESでの学業介入や、ミドルスクールやハイスクールでのチーム介入支援などが含まれる。
Students who have diagnosed mild to moderate needs, such as Specific Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and/or other conditions that impact learning, may be eligible for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a Monitoring Plan. The need for an IEP or a Monitoring Plan is determined by the divisional Student Support Team (SST) through a multidisciplinary, holistic review of the student's current performance and identified needs. As part of this review, parents support with further assessments outside school as appropriate and relevant as per the SST's recommendation.
Students who are eligible for support through an IEP or a Monitoring Plan may access accommodations to remove educational barriers in order to meet curriculum objectives. Accommodations are implemented in ways of presenting information or the ways student responds, in the setting, and in the scheduling of tasks and assessments (e.g., extended time on assessments).
Support services for students with an IEP include, but are not limited to, consultation with teachers, direct support through different models of co-teaching, and direct support in small-group sessions. Services are provided to support students' learning, attending to students’ strengths while helping them develop skills and strategies to meet academic demands independently. This goal is achieved through a partnership between the student, home, and school.
