Pre-K/PPCD Inclusion in an effort to include to the maximum extend possible a full day inclusion program was implemented taking into account the importance of those influences that promote student success, self-esteem, value, acceptance, and high expectations.  Components of our curriculum include:  communication, cognition, motor, fine arts, and social/emotional development.  Assessment is formal and on-going.  Assessment may be task related or observational.

 

Eligibility:

~Child must be in Pre-kindergarten or PPCD class and must be four years old on or before September 1st

~Consent from parents

~Recommendation from teacher and administrative staff

 

Program Goals:

◊     To help all students discover and accept individual differences

◊     To provide appropriate role models

◊     To include parents as partners in the education of their children

◊     To provide well balances and appropriate concrete learning and background experiences whereby all children can succeed

◊     To develop higher thinking skills.

 

Classroom Arrangements:

Classes are full day – 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.  Currently there are two inclusion classes.

 

The classes are taught by both special education early childhood and regular early childhood certified teachers.  A team approach is used.  Pre-K and PPCD students are combined.
