Students also participate in programs through local public schools, as appropriate. Special education classrooms are located in schools housing regular education pupils of comparable age and grade level with the exceptions of TMI, SMI, Preprimary and Section 53 Programs. The Learning Center provides opportunites for development of skills for meeting adult roles. This includes the development of job training opportunities within the school and through the pre-vocational training program. These opportunities include job training for dish washing, dining room clean-up, filling video orders for REMC 1, lawn care, cement lawn ornament production, and more.
All students participate in pre-vocational classroom programs.
Activities are based on student outcomes in the vocational abilities section of the Copper Country Learning Center student assessment. Students' progress is assessed through the use of daily performance measures by job coaches, teachers, and instructional aides. In addition, a school developed assessment tool is used annually to evaluate student progress toward achievement of student outcomes in each instructional area. Assessment of Learning Center students is conducted annually using the Copper Country Learning Center student assessments. This instrument measures progress in the student outcome areas of personal management, cognitive abilities, independent living, physical and leisure abilities, and vocational abilities.
