Description of Program and Students

ISC serves students who struggle to
complete their classes in the typical
arrangement. These students often have
had poor attendance, struggle with
classroom behavior, experience difficulty
managing the curriculum outcomes in a
large group setting, are experiencing
stressful life circumstances (mental illness,
family distress, addiction/abuse) or other
issues that significantly impact their
success. These students complete their
learning in a module-based format with 1:1
or small group support, permitting
significant and crucial relationships to
develop with the ISC teacher.
Students who have experienced significant
challenges earning credits in a regular
classroom are often able to show success
in ISC. In some cases, this classroom is
the essential and only route to earn
Graduation credentials as they have not
experienced success in other forms of
delivery.

Individualized
Learning
Program

The students are those with significant

cognitive delays, multiple disabilities, or
severe autism. May be coded Severe 44,
43, 42 or Mild/Moderate 51 and also have
low adaptive functioning. The focus of their
programming is basic literacy and
numeracy, life skills, responsible inclusion in
option courses as well as full inclusion as
part of the student body. These students
require additional supports and services
such as ILO, toileting, high rates of
supervision as well as social/emotional
intervention and support. They may also
have mobility issues.

Current/Expected Students

K&E

Students in this group require

accommodations and possibly modifications
to the regular outcomes at the Grade 9 or
high school -2 levels. Many have reading
levels at least 2 years below grade level
and struggle with vocabulary, written output,
mathematics and science concepts. EA
support is beneficial to support teachers in
creating flexible groupings, providing
accommodations, offering additional
support, creating alter

Hybrid Group

Students in this group are unique as they

do not fit into either ILP or K & E all of the
time. They may have needs that are similar
to the students in ILP or K & E but require
more individualized programming. Many of
these students are coded Severe 44 (most
have an existing FASD diagnosis) or have a
severe learning disability where their
reading is more than 2 years below grade
level. The students in this group are a
varied group with a wide variety of
academic and social/emotional needs.
They require more significant levels of
support but many are capable of completing
K & E and even regular outcomes.
