We gathered baseline data then began implementing teaching strategies aimed at helping students reach the goal. Next year, we'll compare data from before and after to see how much progress students have made toward the goal. Another major goal of school improvement was to complete a transition plan for every student. Our transition coordinator met with every teacher to accomplish this goal. The underlying goal of our work-based curriculum is to teach all students to be effective, contributing members of their community.
All goals promote the readiness of our students to make the transition from school to community.
Other individual goals may be added to a student's IEP as needed. A copy of the Annual Goals and Short-Term Instructional Objectives is available for review in the school office. And On The Job Learning Lutz school continues to expand its already extensive use of community resources. Each day students depart from the school to community job sites, including area hospitals, churches, nursing homes, malls, and community organizations. At these sites, students perform maintenance, housekeeping, human service, and retail-related jobs.
