Module 5.2 Role of Student Support Groups in a Language Support Program

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of the SSG are to:

  • identify the student’s needs
  • determine any adjustments to be made to the curriculum
  • plan an appropriate educational program
  • develop an Individual Learning Plan
  • discuss the plan with teachers and provide support to implement the learning plan
  • provide advice to the principal concerning the additional educational needs of the student and the types of resources required to meet these needs
  • review and evaluate the student’s program on a regular basis as determined by the group, and at other times if requested by any member of the group.

 

Professional learning activities

  • Use reflective learning techniques

An LSPT and a SSG may involve similar personnel, but have quite different roles. Use the information above, and that included in ‘Resource 5.2.1 Roles/Responsibilities of the Student Support Group’ to develop a ‘T chart’ that identifies the differences between their membership, aims and responsibilities (i.e. across the top of the ‘T’ write ‘LSPTs and SSGs' and then on either side of the organiser list the differences).
