Learning Resource Program

It is the goal of the ISD learning resource program to increase the academic success of identified elementary and middle school students with mild learning differences. Support is provided in either inclusive or pull-out programs that match individual needs with appropriate strategies and methods. There is no learning resource program available for high school students at ISD.

In addition to providing support to students and managing individual educational plans, the learning specialist meets regularly with classroom teachers at all grade levels to offer strategies for addressing differentiation in the mainstream classroom. A student support team comprised of principal, learning specialist, ELL specialist when needed, and current classroom teacher meet regularly to discuss students, their individual support plans, and future actions to be taken. Teachers and parents are encouraged to seek out the assistance and resources provided by the learning specialist whenever learning questions arise.

Identified students who qualify for gifted services are supported through regular differentiation of content, instructional method, task or assessment model in the regular classroom setting.
