To encourage and reiinforrce self-esteem through academic success. Curriculum District-wide curriculum standards and guidelines insure consistent academic expectations for each level and program without restricting the academic freedom and creative excellence each teacher brings to the classroom. The ALSP curriculum coordinator is Sue Schultz . She provides guidance, materials, and other instructional support to teachers at Truman, at Lakeview and at all off-campus sites. A new, expanded resource library has been added to the ALSP Office at Truman.
Teachers can check out classroom textbook sets or can borrow from a treasure house of materials.
The room has networked computers so teachers can access resources on the internet or check their email. Multi-level, multimedia software complements the classroom texts and provides additional listening opportunities to students learning English and other academic subjects. Teachers should aquaint themselves with the software and be prepared to integrate the lab activity with their classroom curricula. Stories composed entirely of icons are displayed on the screen with voice dictation for every word and sentence. 1,000 students each week use the program in the Computerized Tutoring Center.
