The SETS program is happening!
St. Joseph’s High School,
Wadala,
2nd July 2013
The SETS (Special Education Teacher Support) program
designed to assist the learning disabled students is underway in our school
this scholastic year. The forty
students from Stds. II and III, carefully chosen through a process of
observation, testing and diagnosis by their class teachers during the last
scholastic year, will be placed in a specifically devised classroom under a
specially trained teacher. The focus
will be on the development of skills in English and Mathematics. A trained resource person will oversee the
preparation of IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) for the students designed
to help them reach the same level of proficiency as the other students of their
class over a period of time.
A brief orientation program was conducted for the parents of
these students on 28th June 2013 to help them understand their child
better and assist us in this educative process.
Fr. Edward D’Souza sdb, briefed the parents through an effective power-point
presentation on the specific learning disability in a child, and the procedures
planned to implement the SETS program in the school. Present at the meeting were Fr. Bernard
Fernandes (Principal), Ms. Nicole Britto (Vice-Principal), Mrs. Matilda
Fernandes (Head teacher of the Primary section), Mrs. Manjusha (SETS teacher)
and Ms. Nisha (resource person).
The parents could not thank the Management and the support
team enough for this wonderful gesture and initiative that will help their
children see through this difficult yet challenging phase and bloom into successful
individuals.
