ASIST
The Assessment Support and Intervention Success Team (ASIST) offers integrated and wrap-around interventions and supports to at-risk grade 7 – 12 students within Edmonton Catholic Schools. The focus is pro-active. A team consisting of a consultant/teacher, a social worker and other partnering professionals from community agencies will provide the supports needed so the students involved can be successful in their learning environment and develop the attitudes and skills needed to become a good citizen.
