Mrs. Federici

The Instructional Support Process is a supportive program for students in grades K-5 who require academic, behavioral, communication, and/or social-emotional support in order to be successful in the regular education environment.

The role of the Gifted Support Teacher is to assist teachers in meeting the needs of gifted and high-achieving students.  This is accomplished by providing students the opportunity to use challenging instructional materials that elevate performance levels in language arts, math and other disciplines.

School Health services provide mandated screenings and exams to assure a minimum standard of health to enhance school performance. Supplemental health education, providing first aid, and the development of Individualized Health Care Plans to ensure all students can attend school in the least restrictive environment, are just a few of the services provide.

The Learning Support program at Western Salisbury Elementary School is one part of the team approach for students at Western.  It meets the individual needs of students who qualify for the program.  Students receive support for academic success in both the regular education and special education classrooms.  The students' educational program is tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual student.  

The school psychologist engages in psychological and educational evaluation, teacher consultation, crisis intervention, determining eligibility for special educational programming, and counseling in situations where student's social and emotional difficulties are negatively affecting their academic and school performance.  The school psychologist also works with the Instructional Support Team in determining appropriate and effective strategies and interventions for struggling students.
