The Office of Student Support Services, Exceptional Support Branch (OSSS-ESB) provides targeted and sustained professional learning opportunities to strengthen teacher practice and improve student outcomes. Professional learning is guided by the principles of adult learning theory research on effective professional learning for teachers. Our goal is to improve academic and functional outcomes for all students with disabilities.
The aim of this Instructional Support website is to consolidate and organize the implementation training modules, guidance documents, tools, and other resources we have developed so teachers and support staff can find them more easily.
