SPECIAL DAY CLASS year 9-12
Special Day Class is designed to promote the “Least Restrictive Environment within the mainstream" model. Students may receive services in this program from 51%-100% of the day. Special Day Class offers remedial instruction in core academic subjects. This program also includes an embedded focus on academic subjects in daily life activities. Emphasis is placed upon students experiencing success with the least amount of assistance. Hence, the instructor's goal is to promote self-efficacy for each student. Note: Each student's instruction is based on their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The IEP guides instruction based upon the student's goals. (Goals may include academic, behavioral and post-secondary transitional goals.)
