Inclusive Education

We believe that all students can learn. They learn in different ways and at various rates. Students are best served when being part of an inclusive classroom where learning expectations reflect individual needs and children can build relationships and a sense of connection. We also believe that parents, as the first teachers, play an important role in children’s learning.

To support teachers and students in acting on our philosophy, the Learning Support Teacher offers guidance in providing universal, targeted, and individualized supports to students within their inclusive classroom communities. The LST also supports teachers in implementing best practices in their classroom, including comprehensive literacy, concept based teaching, visual thinking, and universal design for learning.
