Information for Teachers

Teachers of children who attend programmes at our Child Study Centre are foundational to the success of the students in the programme! We strongly believe that by visiting the child’s school and speaking with you, the SFU student is better able to form meaningful connections with the child that they will be tutoring in the summer. We hope that you will be able to help us by:

• Speaking with the SFU student who will be tutoring the child in your class for a few minutes to help the SFU student gather knowledge about the child’s learning and to contextualize these learning difficulties within a classroom environment. Any information about the child’s learning needs that you think may be helpful for the SFU student to design an effective educational programme is helpful.

• Allowing the SFU student to conduct an informal assessment of the child’s reading abilities at the school. This testing is only for intervention purposes and involves only language and reading measures that are typically found in classrooms and/or resource centres and are administered by teachers. (All testing for research purposes is conducted at SFU and does not involve the SFU student). We will mail a copy of the student’s final assessment and intervention report to the school at the end of the summer programme.

If you have any questions about the programme, please contact the staff at the Child Study Centre.
