Learning Support The Learning Support Team is responsible for supporting students, families and faculty in a collaborative model when learning difficulties arise. When teachers or parents identify a student struggling to learn, the team collectively monitors student progress and makes recommendations to support learning. For students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), the team manages student accommodations and will work with outside service providers to help students build on their strengths and support their areas of challenge.
