Skills Overview

The objectives of Skills class encompass three broad areas. The first is to support students with IEP's in meeting the classroom expectations of all of their courses.

The second objective is to conduct ongoing "future planning" activities to address transition planning goals and objectives of each student's IEP,

The third broad objective is to address specific IEP needs, goals and objectives.

Skills is not a study hall. Rather it is a support service designed to allow for direct special education support to students to address learning needs and to insure students have the resources available to maximize their chances for success in all types of school experiences.

Students are expected/required to be engaged in some form of instruction during Skills. Whether it be support in completing homework, reviewing class materials, future planning activities or general IEP related English and math tasks, each student will be required to be engaged in some type of activity.
