Community-Based Instruction

The purpose of this program is to provide students with functional, standards-based knowledge and skills to use to access and utilize the resources in their community. In addition, the student outcomes for this series of courses include, but are not limited to (a) the ability to self-advocate, (b) the development of daily living and social skills, appropriate behaviors and attitudes, and (c) demonstrate increased independence and mobility in their community. The activities must be linked to the students' goals and objectives and should support the students' post-school outcomes of the transition plan in the IEP. They must be authentic, challenging and age-appropriate and are not field trips. The course descriptions below are general and not meant to limit planning to specifically what is described; the scope of the activities is dependent on the readiness level of each student as determined by the IEP.

A permission form will be sent home. The permission form will need to be signed and granted permission in order to participate in field trips outside of the school campus.
