Special Needs and Intervention
During 2021 my role at Hawker Area School has changed from being the F-2 teacher to being the Special Needs focus person. I will be working with children with challenging needs and students requiring extra skill building through intervention activities for English and Maths. My role is one of coordination, programming and teaching. I am also overseeing the Read Write Inc program that will include students from Foundation to year 3 this year. I am excited about my new role and can’t wait to see students benefit from Hawker Area School agreeing to create such a special role for me to operate within.
I will be at school Monday to Thursday this year. I will be in contact with individual parents of students I will be working with to provide updates and an avenue for general chat about the what, how and when of interventions that are happening so you are informed. I may ask you to work on elements of English and Maths at home to help your child practise and retain this vital subject knowledge. All communications will be shared with your child’s classroom teachers and the principal.
All the best for 2021. I hope your chilldren make the most of each opportunity and that you are looking forward to supporting the school and your child in their learning.
