Kindergarten - PVNC Catholic District School Board

THE SENIOR KINDERGARTEN YEAR
At the start of the school year, the teacher assesses the child’s level of
development, individual learning style, and learning needs. The child’s progress is
monitored on an ongoing basis throughout the school year.
EARLY IDENTIFICATION IN THE
PVNC CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
Within our Board, Early Identification is centered on the teacher’s observations of
each child. The teacher is in a unique position to observe the child in a variety of
situations, and to assess the child’s individual development and learning needs in
many different areas. A School Resource Team provides support and consultation
for the teacher to assist each child. Additional special education support staff from
the Education Centre are also available to help when called upon. Students with
special needs may receive resource help and could be considered for identification
as an exceptional student.
By understanding the way in which each child learns, the teacher will be able to
structure and change the basic program to ensure that the needs of all are met
during the critical first few years at school. Together parents, teachers and support
staff work to provide a program that meets the individual needs of each child.
