1. Support Individual Students

- Work directly with students who have IEPs or specific needs.

- Provide alternative ways to access the curriculum (e.g., visual aids, simplified texts).

2. Promote Inclusion

- Encourage independence while supporting.

- Help the student engage with peers and classroom routines.

- Step in only when needed, so the student can participate as much as possible on their own.

3. Observe and Monitor

- Watch how the student responds in class — socially, emotionally, and academically.

- Note progress, difficulties, and what strategies work best.

4. Collaborate with the Class Teacher

- Share observations and adjust approaches based on student response.
