Educational Support
What is Educational Support?
Educational Support is formerly known as "Tutorial" or "Resource". During their Educational Support class, students will receive individual or small group assistance in understanding concepts presented in their general education courses, along with specialized instruction in areas where students have academic weaknesses, as noted in their Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Students will also explore study skills, learning styles, and post-secondary transition options throughout the course of the year. Educational Support is scheduled into the student's school day, as indicated in their IEP. This course is only available for students who have been identified under the Individuals with Education Act as a student with a disability.
Mrs. Fussell's Rules:
Be on-time, on-task, and prepared to learn every day
Personal electronics are used for educational purposes only
Be responsible for your own learning (advocate for yourself)
Respect others by not talking during study time and being sensitive to other’s abilities and learning styles
All school-wide rules apply
Educational Support Routine:
Be in your seat when the bell rings
Have your Homework Planner and materials ready
Complete the Daily Ed Support Activity
Prioritize how to spend your remaining Educational Support time, and begin working
Advocate for yourself and ask questions when you need to!
During their Educational Support class, students can also utilize available technology to practice on review websites, listen to audiobooks, or access lecture notes in order to gain a better understanding of what they are learning in their general education courses. The Educational Support time is individualized based on student's needs each day.
More Important Information:
Attendance:
It is important to attend school every day!
When a student is absent from any class, it is the student's responsibility to ask teachers for make-up work (they will not remind you!)
Students missing 10 days in any class may not receive credit (in other words, you might fail a class because of absences, even if you are making a passing grade in that class)
Grades:
Educational Support classes follow weighting of 60% major grades & 40% minor grades. Grades are obtained by averaging weekly planners and assigned work.
