Outstanding Achievements:
Designs programs based on student interest. This helps students reach beyond their current performance and consistently improve test scores and class marks:
- individual novel studies for grade six students allow children with reading difficulties to participate in class activity
- matching special needs students with peer tutors helps special needs students integrate successfully into the classroom
- program that teaches students, parents and staff to identify children's learning difficulties and develop individual coping mechanisms boosts student confidence and performance
