The Teaching and Learning Response Team
This team consists of the Assistant Principal Administration, Support Teacher Inclusive Education (ST-IE), School Guidance Counsellor (GC), Primary Learning Leader (PLL) and School Based Speech Pathologist (SBSP). This team works in partnership with the class teacher, parents/caregivers, the administration team and other associated professionals to plan for students with a diverse range of learning needs in order to maximise their access to the curriculum and to ensure the best possible outcomes for each student.
Parents play an important role in this partnership and cooperation, communication and collaboration are all essential for successful outcomes for our students.
Parents/caregivers may be:
- invited to attend a Parent Teacher meeting to share a student's Personalised Support Plan (PSP)
- invited to attend a 'wrap around' meeting with one or more members of the Teaching and Learning Response Team
- sent a letter outlining planned intervention for their child
- referred to outside agencies for help in managing their child's difficulties
Intervention programs are complementary to classroom teaching and are planned in conjunction with classroom teachers and other associated professionals if applicable. The parent/caregiver will be notified of any short term strategic, targeted or intensive interventions. The primary educational care of any student remains with the classroom teacher.
It is not the practice of the ST-IE or GC to issue written reports at the completion of intervention programs. However, parents are encouraged to make an appointment with their child's class teacher and/or the ST-IE/GC if they wish to discuss their child's progress or if they have any queries or concerns regarding intervention programs.
