Special education teachers use classroom curriculum material and a variety of supplementary material and methods to provide extra practice in reading, math, and writing.
Students work in the classroom or in a resource room setting, usually in small groups.
Our program tries to ensure success in small steps. Many students will have a reinforcement plan that provides incentives and shows the progress he or she is making towards his or her goals. Some plans focus on improving behavior. Students are referred for special ed evaluation by staff or parents when a concern arises that the child is not performing as expected. The special ed team may decide to assess the student through a variety of methods-observations, formal tests, for example.
