Intensive Individual Support

3 I believe that everyone is unique and this uniqueness should be shared and valued. I believe

that a student's background can have a major impact on their behavior and performance in

support their learning.  I believe it is important to include activities that are relevant to my

students and include materials that represent each of them. I also understand that every
