Compensatory
Education Program
 |
The Philosophy
When
students come to this class, they work hard because this "work" is
very important. We come to this class to learn basic skills
besides "learning how to learn". These skills are life long skills.
They will affect students' lives and will determine future success. |
The Compensatory
Education Program is designed to be a supplementary program to the regular
classroom instruction. Its purpose is to help meet the needs of students
who have performed below expected achievement levels on the Terra Nova
Test in Language Arts, Reading or Math and for some students who may be
having some difficulties with those skills in the regular classroom.
The Compensatory
Education teacher sometimes works in the classroom along with the classroom
teacher with some of the students. She works with others individually
or in small groups according to their needs in her room. We will
be using the DODDS adopted programs in conjunction with the regular classroom
and supplemental materials useful for the particular skill or skills we
are working on at the time.
Students
are selected and placed in the Compensatory Education Program in several
ways:
The Comp.
Ed. teacher works with these identified students for at least part of the
school year. It is important that the teacher and parents are in contact
with each each other. By working together, they
can insure the best education for each child.
