Our curriculum promotes an understanding and accomplishment of attainable, demanding goals applicable to each student while providing them with the tools they need for success.
Each students’ individually designed curriculum includes academic, life, and social skills education. Transition planning, service projects, and faith-based learning are included as well. Each student completes an interest inventory at the beginning of the school year, outlining their skills, interests, and goals. This information is then used to create an individual, student enrichment program to further the student’s education.
Students have access to Chromebooks for researched-based work and online-interactive studies. ASTL teachers utilize Chromebook technology and Epson Whiteboard Projection System during classroom lessons and presentations to facilitate adaptive learning.
ASTL continues to develop new opportunities and curriculum based on the interests, needs, and goals of the students. Student IEP’s, past testing and grades, history, medical records and previous school testing are used in developing ASTL’s specific version of an IEP called an IDP. This Individualized Development Plan addresses each student’s strengths and challenges while outlining the plan of action for their individualized educational goals.
