Counseling

Our school counseling program is designed to help students while they are on campus and provide support for students’ social emotional learning, rather than to provide mental health therapy. We focus on building skills in conflict resolution, restorative justice, active listening, and positive self talk to give students structure and tools needed to build and maintain healthy friendships. Additionally, our student support team partners with outside providers, including mental health, occupational, and behavioral therapists, to offer the perspective of how their clients presents in peer interactions and to provide wraparound support in helping students make progress towards goals they’ve identified with these providers. 

‍Learning Specialist

Our Learning Specialist works closely both with students and our teachers to ensure we are effectively reaching each student. She meets with students to discover how they best learn, and creates individualized learning and accommodation plans and organizes access to assistive technology to support their learning. By playing off our teachers’ strengths and utilizing a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, she provides professional learning opportunities, brain science context, and practical systems that allow for differentiated instruction in the classroom.

‍Division Deans

With experience in the Trillium classrooms, our division deans have a holistic view and understand intimately the challenges our students face and advocate for their needs. Prioritizing our school values of consideration, creativity, and growth mindset, the deans are key members of the student support team and play an integral role in shaping the culture of our divisions. The balance the needs of all our asynchronous learners and plan field trips, programs, and other opportunities for students to build necessary executive functioning and social-emotional learning skills. Bringing a feep understanding of our school’s mission, the deans are committed to student well-being, high academic standards, and fostering an inclusive learning environment.
