Courses |
Students who receive resource room service are enrolled in general education academic classes and meet the same content and performance standards as their peers. These students receive supportive instruction from the special education teacher one period per day. Teachers work individually or in small groups to develop and strengthen skills in specific areas identified in the IEP of each student. Skill areas may include but are not limited to, reading, writing, mathematics, study skills, note taking, and organization. Students participating in this program are working toward a local high school or Regents diploma. (more detail) | |

The students attend General Education classes and support is provided through consultation, collaborative planning and co-teaching with the general education teachers. (more detail) |
