The Center is broken up into three Academies. The students will receive instruction in two of the Academies (Math and Reading/Writing) while Learning Strategies are implemented throughout.
- Math Academy: students receive standards based instruction in the area of Mathematics. Lesson plans are designed to review material previously learned in the classroom and to develop math skills utilizing strategies.
- Reading/Writing Academy: students receive standards based instruction in the areas of Reading and Writing. Lesson plans are designed to assist students to better understand reading passages, as well as teaching the students to be successful writers. The teachers introduce strategies that can be used when answering reading comprehension questions, and when writing paragraphs, reports, and short stories.
Throughout the year, parents receive:
Monthly letters including goals, objectives, strategies, skills, and topics the students have been working on.
Progress reports will be sent home in January and June stating their child’s progress within the program.
