Classes are all located on traditional campuses. Orland and Willows Districts operate additional Special Education Programs. Statistics GCOE had a pool of 77 substitute teachers available to work in our special education classes. Classroom maintenance was provided by school district custodial staff or by GCOE staff. Certificated staff are formally evaluated bi-yearly with frequent informal opportunities for support, while classified staff are formally evaluated yearly.
Specific attention is given to the probationary period.
Four CSUC interns were employed by GCOE, due to an active partnership with California State University Chico. Programs are designed for maximum student integration in the general education program. The goal of Special Education programs is to ensure that all students are involved in the general education core curriculum in a way that is meaningful. This may include basic skills, curriculum-framework, life skills, and career development. Staff and students have access to instructional materials, textbooks, technology, assistive technology and other materials and services to meet the specific needs of individual students.
