Recap of 1st General Learning Support Meeting of 2017-2018

We discussed best practices for inclusion across the SD Catholic K-16 landscape. We had representatives from USD, Point Loma Nazarene, Cathedral, OLP, Mater Dei, and K-8 schools present to engage in structured professional learning.

How can you start a Learning Support Program at your school?

Our Learning Support Steering Committee has worked to create flowcharts of the recommended steps for starting a learning support program at your school. Check out the flowcharts here. Each of the flowcharts references pages in our general learning support handbook which can be accessed on our SD Catholic LS Website.
