Student Support Services

At ISPP, we strive to provide the type of support that students in the community require. A multi-disciplinary team works together to identify needs, design and deliver an effective support program for individual students. We focus on using students’ strengths to help them develop confidence, a sense of self-advocacy and a desire to maximize their learning. The elementary and secondary campuses each have a Student Support teacher. These teachers work collaboratively with other teachers, parents, external specialists, when needed, and the administrative team to determine the best way to meet the needs of all students.

Learning support at ISPP is flexible and based on the particular needs of the students in our community. For each student, an individual education plan is created that clearly identifies goals and strategies for achieving them. The plan establishes the intensity of the intervention and determines the appropriate setting for implementation. In all cases, students develop an understanding of their own profile and are encouraged to use this self-awareness to maximize their learning.

Support may take on a variety of forms: one-on-one, small group or in-class. The support teacher monitors, assesses and documents student progress relative to the targeted goals. The aim is to provide a tailor-made program that best meets the needs of the individual, taking advantage of the expertise and strengths of all those associated with the ISPP community. We value individual growth and development and do our best to provide all students with the type of support that ensures their success at some level.
