The Academic Support Program at AISR is designed to provide assistance to students who have mild to moderate learning needs. The purpose of the program is to help them cope successfully with the curriculum demands at their grade level. Students at the Middle and High School levels are scheduled to be seen every second day for an entire block of approximately 80 minutes. Students at the Elementary level are scheduled to be seen twice to three times per week for 30 to 40 minutes. Every quarter, the needs of the students are reviewed. One goal of the program is for every student to eventually leave the program.
Regular and frequent communication and consultation occurs between the “regular” classroom teacher and the learning specialist. Sometimes assisting students with their assignments/projects will occur, sometimes studying with them for upcoming tests/quizzes will occur, and sometimes remediation of basic skills will occur. Compensation for particular learning needs as well as modification of curricula for particular students’ needs can and does occur. A central focus of the program is for the students to develop sound work habits and a healthy understanding of their particular strengths and weaknesses. Regular self- assessments, particularly at reporting time occur, together with the expectation of accountability for behavior, effort and results obtained.
