Teacher Advisement Plan for 2017/2018 School Year Case Management Teacher Advisement Plan for 2017/2018 School Year

Mindset of Curiosity and Solutions

Service Delivery Model Advocacy vs. Discipline Success for at-risk students requires a "team approach" which utilizes the skills and expertise of the classroom teacher, support staff (counsellors, mental health and D&A clinicians….), community agencies and parents. Classroom teachers are the key providers of support: they identify difficulties, provide curriculum adaptations, develop positive relationships with students and problem solve issues at the classroom level as they arise. The Teacher Advisor acts as an advocate for the student. In this role, the advisor supports the student in the development and attainment of their educational plan/goals (student learning plan).
