Through on-site evaluation and the use of consultants, the school has written new goals for each area of the program with special emphasis on language arts. Through the school's curriculum teams, staff development is scheduled to assist teachers in implementing the needed changes. This 2000-01 is the final year of this P.Q.R. More training and implementation of the plan will continue. The special needs students we have at Fairview include RSP, ELL, and SDC students. All students receive the core curriculum.
Specialists collaborate with the classroom teachers to ensure curriculum alignment.
Regular meeting times are scheduled to provide for communication between the classroom teachers and the special needs' staff in order to successfully provide the core curriculum to all students. Many leadership opportunities are afforded students and staff. Students can become involved with student council as an officer or a room representative. If they play sports during lunch hour they may be selected to be a captain of a team and also a referee. Teachers have the opportunity to serve on the Student Study Team, School Site Council, Leadership Team, and various textbook selection and curriculum guideline committees.
