METHODOLOGY & COMMITMENT

How do we provide Inclusive Education?

The following six principles are key to achieving the vision for an inclusive education system. These principles can guide and inform value-based and learner-centered decisions related to policies, practices and actions at every level of the education system.

FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS

Six Principles

01 PRINCIPLE 1

Anticipate, value and support diversity and learner differences

Welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments create a sense of belonging for all learners and their families.

02 PRINCIPLE 2

Encourage high expectations for all learners

Creating a culture of high expectations begins with an accessible curriculum and meaningful and relevant learning experiences. Educators and families act on the idea that, with the right instructional support, every learner not only can, but will succeed.

03 PRINCIPLE 3

Understand learners' strengths and needs

Meaningful data is constantly gathered and shared at all levels of the system – by teachers, families, schools, school authorities and the Ministry of Education – to understand and respond to the strengths and needs of individual learners.

04 PRINCIPLE 4

Remove barriers within learning environments

All education partners work together to remove barriers within the learning environment so that all learners are successful and can participate in the school community.

05 PRINCIPLE 5

Build capacity

Government, school and school system leaders, teachers, education professionals, families and community partners have ongoing opportunities, relationships and resources that develop, strengthen, and renew their understanding, skills and abilities to create flexible and responsive learning environments. Capacity building takes place at the personal, school and system levels.

06 PRINCIPLE 6

Collaborate for success

All education stakeholders, including school and system staff, families, community partners, post-secondary institutions, teacher preparation programs and government are committed to collaboration in supporting the success of all learners.

EXCELLENCE

Learn From Industry Leaders

Our professionals and dedicated teams work "day and night" to reach out to every child with quality education.

Our diverse and skilled educators, based on their expertise, are thoroughly proficient in effectively delivering the Ministry of Education's mandate of required course learning outcomes, while also taking pedagogy to a new level by specializing in techniques which can confer the kind of technological know-how demanded by today's global community. Our values are based on integrity, professionalism, transparency, and dedication.

FLEXIBILITY

Learn at Your Own Pace

Students learn at their own pace, specialized for optimal learning and growth.

Online classes offer the opportunity for faster learners to work at their own pace and slow learners to take the time to make sure they understand the material. NIST offers blended (pre-recorded video clips plus virtual sessions) course(s) offerings. This mode of education will enhance the learning process of our students and audiences.
