On a curricular level, the staff of Our Lady of Fatima is dedicated to the Board's philosophy of individualized student learning. In such an environment the needs of each student are identified within the context of the grade or subject curriculum and an effort is made to enhance each student's learning in a manner that is productive yet cognizant of their needs. The artistry of teaching lies in the ability to craft the curriculum to meet the needs of each learner. As such, the task is a never-ending one that requires effort on the part of teacher and parents. Therefore, evaluation and reporting processes are very important in maintaining communication and cooperative effort between home and school.
Some students require modified programming to meet individual needs.
The Board's intervention model is in full practice at Our Lady of Fatima. Students are presented by teachers at joint team meetings which are attended by parents, school staff and support staff such as the local assessment and programming teacher, the psychometrician and the school social worker. Together, the joint team prescribes modifications intended to enhance learning. Where required, special testing may be done with parental consent and placement in special programs may result. All steps in the process are subject to parental consent.
