Inclusion Teacher

supports diagnosed and undiagnosed students by pushing into subject classes. Sometimes students will be withdrawn from a class to receive one-to-one support from the Inclusion Teacher. Students with diagnosed learning needs will be supported to access the curriculum through the implementation of an Individual Education Plan. The Inclusion Teacher monitors student academic progress and growth and will make recommendations for external assessment when a student has been identified as having specific needs which have not yet been diagnosed.

English Language Acquisition Teachers

support students who are still acquiring English as a language for academic purposes. These teachers not only teach the MYP English Language Acquisition classes but also push into other subjects to assist students to access the language in the curriculum and assessment tasks. The ELA teachers work collaboratively with classroom teachers to differentiate instruction and resources so students can access the curriculum. ELA teachers use WIDA and NWEA MAP to assess and monitor student progress and identify individual needs and intervention.
