What are Students Learning in Class?
Special Education is the practice of educating students in a way that addresses their individual differences and special needs. Ideally, this process involves the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, and accessible settings.
We refer to this process as ESS (Exceptional Student Services). ESS is in partnership with schools and the community to provide support services to students with disabilities. Frequent communication between parents, general education teachers, special education teachers, and students helps make this process run smoothly. Our GOAL is to help all students become functional and productive citizens.
Our ESS teaching staff will:
· Deliver services to the schools, specializing in Individualized Educational Plans (IEP) for students who are identified needing services in areas of academics and/or therapeutic related services based on evaluations.
· Work collaboratively with the general education teachers to support the students in the general education classroom as mandated in federal law (Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
· Utilize the e-IEPPRO software to ensure the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) is aligned and written in accordance with the Arizona State Standards. e- IEPPRO is a customized webbased software program that provides templates to manage the special education process.
· Guide the Post-Secondary Transition Goals and assist the students with the next educational step after graduation.
