Academic Handbook 2021-2022 37 modified and who are receiving in one school year , 25 hours or less remedial instruction by a person other than the class teachers .
It is not necessary for students without a Ministry designation , receiving regular tier 2 learning support , to have an IEP . In some cases it may be appropriate for a student to have a Student Support Plan ( SSP ) instead if a student is not eligible for a ministry designation .
IEP Review and Progress Monitoring
A full review of an IEP must occur no less than once a year and with parent consultation . However , progress monitoring on every goal in the IEP will be ongoing . Once a student becomes an independent learner ( requiring less than 25 hours per year of remedial instruction ), they will not require an IEP and should be delisted .
There are several sets of standardized exams that require applications for specific accommodations . These applications require that accommodations for a student with a learning disability are currently being utilized at the school level and supported by a current assessment . These include the Graduation Assessments ( GNA , GLA ), the LPI and College Board exams , such as the PSAT , SAT , AP and the ACT college entrance exams . The accommodations provided are approved by the group sponsoring these exams . Crofton House applies on behalf of the student ; however , the School does not grant nor determine the accommodations . These are granted only by the sponsoring agency .
There are circumstances when a tutor may be recommended . If a family decides to engage a tutor , it is strongly recommended that the subject teacher school is notified so that the teacher and tutor are aligned in expectations .
English + Program
The English + Program at CHS has been developed to support a select group of students ( whose first language is not English ) to achieve mastery in the academic language teachers use for lessons , assessments , and assignments , while building the confidence , competence , and connectedness needed for success in all subject areas . Because academic language mastery is a challenging process , this is a five-year program offered to a maximum of eight to ten new Grade 8 students entering CHS each year . These students receive additional academic language support designed by an academic language specialist . Students are supported in both classroom settings and one-to-one tutorial sessions from Grade 8 until their graduation at the end of Grade 12 .
