Quality support services for your child

Shadow teacher services refer to individualized one-on-one support provided by a trained professional who accompanies a student with special needs or learning difficulties in a regular classroom setting. Here are some key aspects and functions of shadow teacher services:

1. Support in the Classroom: A shadow teacher assists a student during regular classroom activities, helping them stay focused, participate in lessons, and complete tasks according to their individual educational plan.
2. Individualized Attention: The shadow teacher provides personalized attention to the student, addressing their specific learning needs, behavioral challenges, or communication difficulties.
3. Facilitation of Learning: They facilitate learning by adapting teaching strategies, materials, and instructions to match the student's learning styles and abilities.
4. Behavioral Support: A shadow teacher helps teach and manage the student's behavior, promoting positive interactions with peers and teachers while minimizing disruptions.
5. Communication Liaison: They serve as a communication link between the student, teachers, and parents, ensuring consistency in academic and behavioral expectations.
6. Skill Development: The shadow teacher may work on developing academic skills, social skills, independence, and self-regulation techniques tailored to the student's needs.
7. Inclusion Support: Shadow teacher services promote the inclusion of students with special needs in mainstream educational settings, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
8. Collaboration with Educators: They collaborate with classroom teachers and other school staff to implement effective strategies and accommodations supporting student learning and development.

Shadow teacher services are typically recommended when a student requires additional support beyond what is provided through regular classroom accommodations or special education services. The goal is to help the student access the curriculum, participate meaningfully in school activities, and achieve their educational goals within a mainstream educational setting.
