Engaging All Learners!

Learning Supports

Schools need to use innovative and effective ways to reduce barriers to learning and provide the supports that every student needs to be successful.

Research clearly identifies the importance of a supportive, caring learning environment. All classrooms include a growing number of students who will need additional supports to be successful. These could range from positive behavior supports to the use of learning or assistive technologies.
