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
INDIGENOUS STUDENT CENTRE
ISC (Indigenous Student Centre) is an on-site classroom providing cultural and academic support for First Nations, Metis, and Inuit students. Student learning is rooted in land-based education, with an emphasis on cultural practices and understanding. In addition to academics, students are provided with leadership opportunities in their school and community through PASS. The ISC is supported by a classroom teacher, a dedicated Indigenous Student Counsellor, and LSSD's Cultural Lead Teacher.
