Differentiated Instruction

Differentiated Instruction is the concept of tailoring instruction to fit the needs of each student. All students learn at different rates, and ability levels and St. Vincent Elementary School prides itself on ensuring that every student has an educational plan that is both customized to fit the students individualized needs and challenging to maximize potential.  The SV Elementary School employs one Learning Consultant and one Academic Resource Teacher that assess the progress of each student and helps create individualized education plans to meet goals. These Learning Consultant and Academic Resource Teacher work directly with both the teachers and students to assist in creating and implementing classroom strategies for students.

St. Vincent Elementary School also partners with the MO Department of Education and receives funding called Title 1 which is used to employ two teachers in the elementary school who work directly with students who are in need of improvements in key areas like reading and language arts.  These Title 1 Teachers work with students on a one on one basis and also in small groups in addition to the regular instructional program and provide assistance to both the classroom teachers and parents.
