                    TEACHER INTRODUCTION

                    Cameron recently completed a holistic screening to identify their academic strengths, needs, interests and learning preferences. This screening examined core Math and Language Arts skills aligned with the provincial curriculum as well as executive functioning skills which may be impacting Cameron’s learning. The curriculum based skills include math operations, reading fluency, reading and listening comprehension, oral and written expression. The results of the screening generated this highly tailored learning plan with evidence-based strategies to support Cameron’s individual needs. The strategies are derived from the principles of universal design for learning (UDL) so they can be implemented to support the entire class as well.

                    The goal of this learning plan is for you to learn about Cameron‘s strengths and needs directly from Cameron. We believe this collaborative approach between teachers and students will not only benefit Cameron but may also save time for you in identifying students’ needs and designing effective instructional strategies. 

                    If you find the information from this learning plan helpful, you can set up a teacher account with Study Smart. A teacher account will enable you to obtain learning plans for all students in your class; and a class profile which is a snapshot of the content within each of the learning plans. You will also have access to detailed lesson plans aligned with the UDL strategies in the learning plans. If you have any questions about this screening approach or would like to set up a teacher account, go to www.studysmart.ca or contact us at info@studysmart.ca.

                    Thank you for supporting Cameron.
