Learning Supports

Not every student comes to school motivationally ready and able to learn. On any given day, some students experience barriers that interfere with their ability to learn. Programs, services, practices, and strategies that help students overcome these barriers are called Learning Supports. Learning Supports can include a host of classroom approaches, school-wide programs, family involvement, community partnerships, and youth engagement efforts.

Keystone AEA provides training, technical assistance, and resources in a variety of research-based learning supports content areas. Our purpose is to assist school personnel in implementing learning supports that alleviate barriers to learning and teaching, increase school connectedness, and promote healthy development, which will ultimately result in increased student achievement and success for all students.
