Learning Specialists are educators with specialized training who collaborate with classroom teachers to identify and support students in need of additional learning assistance. They offer tailored services to address the specific requirements of students who need specialized instruction in reading, writing, and/ or math. Students under the direct guidance of a Learning Specialist have an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) that outlines assessment data, specific goals, and comprehensive progress monitoring.
For students who demonstrate significant gaps and need remediation across several academic areas, support may be provided in a Learning Strategies class in lieu of Chinese Studies. It is important to note that these programs supplement the regular classroom curriculum and do not serve as substitutes. Learning Specialists are also available to collaborate with external resources such as educational psychologists, therapists, or tutors for comprehensive support.
