Additional Educational Assistance (AEA)
Additional Education Assistance
In September 2021, the Support program was replaced with the Additional Education Assistance (AEA) department!
AEA is an academic department that is dedicated to ensuring that your child is provided with additional instruction during school time to help them be successful in school. The AEA team may provide any of the following services:
- Push-in services in classrooms for small group, 1:1, parallel and/or team teaching
- Pull-out services for direct English, Arabic and/or Math instruction
- Assist in work completion
- Develop Executive Functioning skills
- Develop IEP (if necessary)
If a student needs pull-out services, the AEA teacher may, develop a plan of action
- Assess the student
- Develop a SMART goal and plan of action in collaboration with their classroom teacher
- Progress monitor the student
- Report to the teacher and parents every 6 weeks
At BBS, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and able to express themselves. AEA will strive to provide your child with the education that they deserve by:
- Communicating your child’s progress with you
- Serving as an advocate for your child
- Working with the teacher to ensure that he/she is doing all that they can in the large classroom to support your learner by removing barriers.
The AEA team is coordinated by Miss Amber Ham. There are 10 AEA teachers from K-12.
