Meet the Inclusive Education Resource Teacher (IERT)
Inclusive Education Resource
The inclusive education resource program at École Sir William Osler follows a collaborative model where the classroom teachers identify students who may require learning intervention, and supports are put in place to address their individual academic, social or behavioural needs.
When students are experiencing difficulty in the classroom, our resource team works with the classroom teachers and parents to develop a plan that allows our students to be successful. Together, the IERT and the classroom teacher will discuss some of the methods and strategies that would benefit the student. Intervention in both French and English may be in the form of one-to-one, small group, direct instruction or indirect support within the classroom.
If parents feel that their child may require additional support, the first step would be to speak with the classroom teachers about their concerns.

Clinical Support Services
École Sir William Osler has access to the WSD Clinical Support Services team (C.S.S.). The C.S.S. are an educational support service agency that provides specialized help for school children in collaboration with school personnel teams.

The C. S. S. works directly with our school team in consultation with students and staff. At all times, parents are involved in the process.
If parents feel that their child may require additional support from C.S.S., the first step would be to speak with the classroom teachers about their concerns.
