Multiply Your Learning Support Resources: A Skill-Based Structure for Defining Roles

In many schools, learning support teachers are assigned by grade level—expected to be everything for everyone. A kindergarten learning support teacher. A grade 3 learning support teacher. A middle school learning support teacher. Each working hard. Each deeply committed. And each stretched across reading, writing, numeracy, executive functioning, regulation, and more.

In this one-hour session, we’ll explore a different approach: organizing learning support by skill rather than by grade. What happens when we design for true specialization—reading, writing, math, executive function, and regulation—and allow those specialists to work across grade levels? What becomes possible when expertise is deep instead of diluted?

We’ll also examine how this structure, when paired with coordinated intervention stations, can expand your capacity without adding staff—allowing you to reach more students with greater precision and consistency.
