The Learning Center is designed for academic assistance/extensions and behavioral assistance for students. The Learning Center staff this year will be Janet Perrone (Learning Center coordinator), Stacy Claybourne (HAL facilitator/literacy teacher) and Betty Ortiz (paraprofessional). The Learning Center is primarily a place for learning. Although discipline is a part of the Learning Center, we believe this is only a small part. This means students who are struggling, need a little extra boost, have been absent, or are new to the district will be provided a comfortable environment to receive assistance. The Learning Center provides many opportunities for student differentiation and success.
The Learning Center is:
- A place for students before (7:15 a.m.) and after (until 3:30 p.m.) to work and get help.
- A place for pre/reteaching for ELO’s.
- A place for students who could use some individual or small group assistance.
- A place for classroom tests/assignments after an absence when it is not appropriate for the student to be in the regular classroom.
- A place for students to receive some extra challenges.
- A place for district level “make-up” assessments.
- A place for HAL students to turn in materials, to gather for seminars, or to work on projects.
- A place for staff to come for strategy assistance from the LC personnel for organizational, academic, behavioral, and differentiation of instruction for specific students.
- A place for short-term organizational skills.
- A place for short-term academic assistance plans as identified in a MIT.
- A place for learning behavioral modification strategies.
- A place for before/lunch/after school detentions assigned by administrators and in-school suspensions.
- A place for students to learn, to grow, and to be successful!
