Learning Support
At GWA, we believe in a diverse, rich, and inclusive community and recognize that some students benefit from extra support in order to succeed in their academic endeavors. We are implementing a Multi Tier System of Supports (MTSS) which includes interventions at various levels and a learning support team who provides assistance for students with mild learning differences.
Teachers, counselors, and administrators are involved in ongoing training and professional development to better understand and meet individual learning and social-emotional needs of students , where possible.
