The Student Support Team at St. John Neumann is comprised of the guidance counselor, principal, academic coaches, classroom teachers, and parents. The academic coaches and teachers acknowledge the unique learning styles and challenges that students may face in all grade levels.
Collaboration between the classroom teachers and the academic coaches are based on benchmark assessments, classroom performance and other progress monitoring data to determine the learning needs of the students. Academic coaches work with individuals or groups of students who may need additional instructional, organizational or behavioral strategies. Additional areas of support include Title I services, writing lab and homework club.
