Ways we support student learning:

• Offer assistance during scheduled learning blocks or drop-in sessions for assignments and tests, focusing on students with learning needs or those who would benefit from extra support, regardless of designation.

• Provide one-on-one help with assignments, motivation, teacher communication, advocacy, technology use, assignment adaptation, and fostering a positive self-image as a learner.

• Collaborate with teachers and educational assistants to ensure they know which students need support and have access to IEPs.

• Help students understand their learning needs from a growth mindset perspective, ensuring their voices are reflected in IEPs and learning plans.

• Assess students' needs and offer Level B assessments for reading, writing, and math. Support families through the referral process and provide guidance on accessing school and community resources.

• Ensure students have necessary accommodations for exams and Provincial Assessments.

• Collaborate with administrators, counselors, Indigenous support staff, and others to address student needs with a team approach.

• Communicate with parents, valuing their input on IEPs and supporting them in advocating for their child’s needs at school.

• Monitor student progress, identify at-risk students, and problem-solve strategies to get them back on track.

• Assist with transitions from elementary/middle school to Vanier and from school to the community upon graduation.
