SPECIAL EDUCATION

Students are enrolled in courses by virtue of their Individualized Educational Program (IEP). All classes will follow the General Education College Prep Curriculum with the use of modifications and adaptations on an individual basis. All students are expected to take and pass the New Jersey State mandated assessments. Special Education program descriptions appear below. IN-CLASS SUPPORT (ICS) Students in the in-class support setting receive instruction from a general education teacher with support from a paraprofessional. The paraprofessional is assigned to the classroom with the general education teacher to provide assistance to students with IEPs. This allows students to receive aid, modifications and/or support in a less restrictive environment. Course descriptions for ICS courses can be found in the corresponding department’s section of this book. IN-CLASS RESOURCE PROGRAM (ICR) This program serves students with similar educational needs related to their disabilities in accordance with their IEPs. Special class program courses offer a general education curriculum that is modified to provide instructional strategies based on the student’s IEP. Students are instructed by a general education teacher with the assistance of a paraprofessional. Class size is reduced to allow for more individualized instruction. Course descriptions for SCP courses can be found in the corresponding department’s section of this book. PULL-OUT REPLACEMENT RESOURCE PROGRAM (POR) Students in the pull-out replacement resource program are placed in a special education class with a special education teacher. Students in this setting follow the general education curriculum. Modifications and adaptations are provided by the special education teacher as determined by each student’s IEP. Class size is limited to allow for more individualized instruction. Course descriptions for POR courses can be found in the corresponding department’s section of this book. Course descriptions that are unique to the POR setting are listed below:
