The Learning Enhancement Team (LET) supports all Mandel JDS students’ independence and achievement, in their unique academic and social emotional development, by facilitating collaboration and problem solving between teachers, parents and students. For those requiring additional specialized assistance, there are reading specialists trained in the Wilson Reading System and there are highly qualified general learning specialists who modify curricula and accommodate learning needs in our general education setting and our Judaics curriculum. Enrichment and advanced supplemental services are provided to those students whose abilities demand more complex instruction. Mandel JDS also hosts a Segula resource room, partnering with the JEC to provide a specialized learning environment with more intense intervention.
