What We Believe
• All Students Can Succeed • Classroom teachers are the key educators for a student’s
literacy and numeracy development • Universal design and differentiated instruction are
effective and interconnected means of meeting the learning or productivity needs of any group of students
• Successful instructional practices are founded on evidence-based research tempered by experience
• Each child has his or her own unique patterns of learning • Classroom teachers need the support of the larger
community to create a learning environment that supports students with special education needs
• Fairness is not sameness
An integrated process of assessment and instruction to support the learning of all students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
