Students with Special Needs - Their Programme. |
At Victoria Avenue School there are a number of students with identified special needs who receive funding from government agencies.
We have a team of 8 teacher aides working part or full time who are supported by occupational, physio and speech language therapists along with psychologists. Class teachers are responsible for each students programme. Release time is provided for teachers and teacher aides to meet to evaluate and plan.
Special needs students have their needs met through Individual Education Plans where goals are set and strategies identified. IEP’s are a result of the combined knowledge of teachers, parents and paraprofessionals Teachers differentiate the class programme in order for these students to achieve success.
Carolyn Crook oversees the Special Needs Programmes. She meets regularly with agencies, parents, teachers and teacher aides to evaluate programmes. Carolyn also provides Professional Development for Teacher Aides. This Professional Development is in line with teacher Professional Development and involves goal setting, coaching and providing student feedback.
