LRC Program Goals:
1) The students will improve their skills in specific academic
areas targeted in the Individual Education Plan.
2) The student will receive support and praise for successful performance
in mainstream or elective classes.
3) The students will utilize strategies to develop and personalize study
skills.
4) The students will be given techniques to use for empowering and
motivating them in their studies and learning.
5) The students will explore options for post-secondary education and/or
training.
6) The student will develop his or her own learning profile.
7) The students will understand the five domains of Emotional Intelligence
and apply them to their learning.
Classroom Expectations:
- Each student is expected
to arrive on time to class.
2) Each student is expected to complete assignments, study for tests,
work on study skills, or read their novel each day.
3) Each student is expected to have an agenda book filled out each day
with homework assignments, test, and projects written in the book.
Progress Reports:
In addition to progress reports sent out by teachers during
semester, I will require the students to carry a grade check sheet around
to each teacher for grades and signature every two weeks. I will require
your signature on the check sheet. It will be filed in the students'
folder.
I work closely with the students' teachers through telephone conversations
and meetings regarding your student's progress in LRC Support. I encourage
you to e-mail your son or daughter's teacher if you have any questions.
Many of the teachers have grades available on their website. You can access
the grades in each class by asking your student his/her password for each
class.
I look forward to an exciting and productive school year!
