| Learning support offered |
IAA offers comprehensive support services for students who are experiencing academic difficulty due to learning challenges. Learning Support aims at ensuring that students with identified learning needs are assisted both inside and outside of the classroom. This is achieved using a tiered approach to instruction. IAA's ultimate goal is for students to become self-aware, independent learners. Support starts within the classroom where teachers and Learning Specialists collaborate to provide students with the best possible differentiated instruction in order to ensure that students’ learning variabilities are catered for. If a student is in need of further assistance, they are then referred to Learning Support for an assessment of his/her academic strengths and weaknesses. Results from the testing process are communicated to parents and teachers, with strategies for support in class and at home, along with any suggested interventions. |
