    Course Description:

     

    Study Skills is a class designed to give students an opportunity to work on their IEP goals, receive additional time and/or support to complete assignments, and help students develop the skills necessary to begin advocating for themselves.  Students will monitor grades, help create and run their IEP meetings, complete weekly activities based on their IEP goals, learn to use proper social etiquette to address teachers, and learn organizational skills necessary to be successful students.

     

    Class Expectations:

     

    Students will bring assignments and materials to class.  Students will be expected to work independently and in small groups to complete required course work.  Time will also be spent on enrichment activities that target each student's IEP goals.  There will be no homework assigned, but students are expected to use class time productively.  

     

    Be Safe:                      Use school equipment and supplies properly.

    Be Respectful:            Follow directions the first time they are given.
