Description of
methods and strategies for serving eligible students with disabilities: |
Reading
strategies are based upon the principles of Orton Gillingham. Both
reading and math strategies will include a diagnostic-prescriptive
approach that begins with testing. Materials are then chosen based
upon the skill deficits to be remediated. Non-traditional
materials, such as manipulatives, will be used as appropriate.
These methods are well suited to serving students with disabilities. |

Description of
methods and strategies for serving eligible students with limited

Qualifications of the service
provider(s)/instructor(s): |
Tutors will be supervised by
state certified teachers with
masters' degrees

Language Arts and/or math. |

Reports to parents, teachers, and

The frequency of verbal feedback

the educational coordinator will prepare a written report to be shared
with parents. |
