Iowa Learning Supports - Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development    http://www.icyd.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=104&Itemid=96
The Learning Supports initiative views success in school as the responsibility of more than just the school itself. In fact, for those youth with barriers to learning, success often requires the collective response of a myriad of services and resources available through the community to provide support for the learning that occurs inside and outside of the school building. Not only is it what occurs within the classroom, but the ability to mitigate through the social and emotional expectations that occur with middle and high school students, especially those with barriers in their lives. (See Learning Supports Logic Model.)
