LEARNING SUPPORT
LSTs (Learning Support teachers) at LSRCSS offer a variety of academic supports rooted in inclusion, differentiated instruction, and universal design. LSTs coordinate services in the following ways:
- work with classroom teachers to address the diverse learning needs of students by gathering and sharing information, modelling strategies, co-teaching, and supporting the planning for and implementation of appropriate educational programming.
- liaison and advocate for students with parents/teachers/outside agencies.
- refer students to divisional clinicians and outside agencies: school psychology, social work, speech and language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, community mental health, AFM, etc.
- provide additional supports during assigned resource periods
