The Child Service Center provides assistance to special education classrooms by making educational material available through the Teacher's Resource Center. Support for this classroom is also provided by visits from the SLC-B supervisor, Phyllis Maynard, and her assistant, Stacey Sibley. The classroom has a yearly budget which is used to purchase educational material. We are working toward equipping the classroom with high interest materials that can meet the needs of students with varied educational needs. Individual or group instruction is given for each subject depending on the student composition of the class during that period.
Most students require extensive individual attention in completing their work.
The intent is to provide close supervision while promoting independence in learning. The students are required to get each assignment for the day checked off to assist in developing organizational skills and time management. If the student receives a certain amount of points they receive a reward at the end of the day. A weekly reinforcer is also given on Friday afternoons if a sufficient number of points are acquired. Behavior is managed on an hourly basis with the use of free time as a reinforcer.
