Differentiation is important for helping students find success as learners. Our Learning Strategies department offers a differentiated support model both in and out of the classroom, as well as early literacy intervention. We also offer before and after school homework support.
91¹ú²ú Hall’s Learning Strategies Program provides support to all of our students and faculty at every level. Our team of professionals supports student learning by doing the following:
- Helping students identify their individual learning strengths and needs.
- Helping students develop learning strategies that match their individual learning profiles.
- Helping teachers build a repertoire of teaching strategies to differentiate classroom instruction.
Some of our reasons for offering a Learning Strategies Program:
- All students need to learn “how to learn.”
- Some students have an identified learning need.
- Some students want support with a specific subject.
- Some students want support with a specific learning task.
- Some students will need support with planning, organization and time management.
- Some students will need short-term support to catch up after an extended illness, an injury, or an emotional trauma.
