The delivery of Learning Support Services is based on the individual needs of each student as determined by the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) Team. The IEP Team, consisting (minimally) of the classroom teacher, learning support teacher, parents, and a local education agency representative, shares the responsibility for implementing the IEP for each student. What is Learning Support?
For students who are able to make meaningful progress toward their individualized goals within the general education setting, Learning Support Services may consist of consultation with classroom teachers to provide necessary accommodations and monitor student progress. Where are students instructed?
Students who require specially designed instruction within a small group setting to make meaningful progress receive the services addressing their area(s) of need (reading, writing, math) in a learning support classroom. Where are students instructed?
The level of student need determines the level of support to be provided. • Please check your child’s IEP under section VI. Educational Placement How do I know where my child is being instructed and the level of support?
