Learning Support
NSBECS Benchmarks
7.6: Classroom instruction is designed to engage and motivate all students, addressing the diverse needs and capabilities of each student, and accommodating students with special needs as fully as possible.
9.2: Guidance services, wellness programs, behavior management programs, and ancillary services provide the necessary support for students to successfully complete the school program.
Mission: The SD Catholic Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Leadership Coalition Meetings exist to promote equitable and inclusive practices by providing resources, professional learning, and collaborative support to SD Catholic educators in order to meet the needs of all learners.
The visual above is an MTSS model that is proactively built from the outside in (Novak, Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 2020). All learners receive Tier 1, where they have opportunities to access grade-level rigor and behavioral and social-emotional support. Our Steering Committee provides resources and professional learning for tiers 1 (Universal Design for Learning) 2, and 3.

Purpose: The Learning Support Team (LST) is mobilized when students experience challenges in the regular classroom and need additional support, beyond Tier 1 instruction. The LST examines a student's academic, behavioral, and social-emotional progress and creates an action plan to support the student. The LS process is outlined in the flow chart to the left.
