// There are a few individuals who require monitoring and may need referrals to the Learning Support team. I follow a process where I try in class strategies such as one on one conferencing, incentive and behaviour charts, isolation and family conference in cases where support and further steps need to be taken. A few will have Individual Education Plans to better cater for their learning needs and requirements. //=====
