Learning Specialist Information
September 26, 2008
Dear Parents,
Supporting children’s different learning styles and needs is an important part of the learning environment at Wornick. Our Learning Specialist, Ranai Friedman, provides extra support for students, enabling them to progress more comfortably in those academic areas where this additional support is needed. She works in the areas of the language arts and math to provide additional classroom support. The classroom teachers work with the Learning Specialist to identify students who will profit from this attention. Parents are notified when we feel their children will benefit from this program.
This year, to strengthen our program, we are expanding the number of children served by having our Learning Specialist push into classrooms for grades 1-4. She will observe other classes as requested by staff or administration. Generally, the class will be in a small group format during push-in. The program is coordinated with the classroom teacher to ensure that the needs of and expectations for the child are being updated and that there is regular reinforcement of the skills addressed.
Ms. Friedman will be a resource for all teachers and will be in contact with parents to help describe their children's progress. The Learning Specialist also works with individuals who provide outside support for the student. This assures continuity and maximum assistance for the children. Comments are written by teachers with the input from the Learning Specialist twice a year as part of our Progress Reports and the specialist is available to speak with parents on an as-needed basis.
The Learning Specialist is part of the Student Success Team (SST), which includes our Middle School,
Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.
