Special Class in an Integrated Setting

SCIS is a special class in an integrated setting which hosts an equal number of students with Individualized Education Program's (IEP's) and their typically developing peers. The classroom staff consists of a general education teacher, a certified special education teacher and up to two teacher assistants. The curriculum is designed by the host site and implemented by the general education teacher. In addition to providing support and modification of instruction, the special education teacher is responsible for communicating and updating all records with the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) as well as writing quarterly progress reports for the caregivers. The parents of all students are encouraged to participate in our student's education.
