Learning Resource Support
Learning resource support helps students conquer obstacles to their academic success. Some students require additional help with weaker subject areas while others have severe learning disabilities that require constant assistance.
Learning Resources at the Junior School
zz Junior School Life: Learning Resource Specialists
All children learn at different rates and in different ways. At any time, a child may require extra assistance with a particular project or an extra challenge in an area where they excel. Some children require ongoing support: our learning resource specialists help these students and their teachers.
Learning resource specialists:
- provide assistance and enrichment on a long- and short-term basis;
- work with teachers to adapt the curriculum;
- develop Individual Education Plans;
- provide support and strategies for parents; and
- assess student needs and refer students to outside specialists when required.

Some students benefit from help with organization, time management, study skills, and specific subject support, while others require special support or enrichment. Learning resource teachers also implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for some students.
