What is Home-School Program (HSP)?
HSP Class is one of the components of the Community Based Resource Model (CBRM). The CBRM has three components: • Home School Program (HSP) • Resource Program • Methods and Resource Teacher (MART) The HSP provides the student with educational support for at least 50% of the school day. For the remainder of the day, the student returns to the regular class where his or her program is accommodated or modified as appropriate. The Special Education teacher in the HSP works in collaboration with the student's regular classroom teacher to address the student's needs, schedule the student's day, assign homework, and monitor the student's progress. - TDSB Guide to the Home School Program |
"Our students are “growing up digital” with easy real-time access to vast amounts of information, people, and interactive media via the Internet and other Information Communication Technology (ICT). Our 21st Century Learners are developing a need to be engaged by digital means and to express themselves through digital mediums – aspiring to be digitally fluent." - TDSB ICT Standards Document

"Literacy is about more than reading or writing – it is about how we communicate in society. It is about social practices and relationships, about knowledge, language and culture.
Those who use literacy take it for granted – but those who cannot use it are excluded from much communication in today’s world. Indeed, it is the excluded who can best appreciate the notion of “literacy as freedom”. - UNESCO, Statement for the United Nations Literacy Decade, 2003–2012 |
"An information- and technology-based society requires individuals who are able to think
critically about complex issues, analyse and adapt to new situations, solve problems of various kinds, and communicate their thinking effectively. The study of mathematics equips students with knowledge, skills, and habits of mind that are essential for successful and rewarding participation in such a society." - Ministry of Education, Curriculum Document |
