OCV SECONDARY - SPECIAL EDUCATION
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Home School Learning Support Teachers are the main developers for consultation letters and IEPs. Learning Support Teachers at home schools will be collaborating with the OCV Learning Support Teacher Liaison(s) during this process. All OCV teachers are responsible for reviewing and implementing IEPs in their virtual learning environments.
Special Education Supports in the OCV
-
All students are encouraged to reach out to Remote Support Teachers for academic support during asynchronous learning blocks.
-
Students and parents are encouraged to communicate regularly with OCV teachers and OCV Learning Support Teacher (if/when necessary) about the implementation of a student’s IEP (accommodations, etc.)
-
The OCV Virtual Resource Room (VRR) is available every day for students with IEPs who may benefit from extra support. Please see additional information below.
OCV Virtual Resource Room (VRR)
