• Special Education

    Once a child has been identified eligible for special education services, Thomas Jefferson School offers several instructional settings to meet the child’s educational needs.  These programs include In-Class Resource (ICR), Resource Center (RC), and a Primary and an Intermediate Self-contained Class (SC).

    Within an in-class resource setting (ICR), children benefit from having educational support through the services of a certified special education teacher.  Instructional responsibility for these pupils is shared between the special education teacher and the classroom teacher(s) as described in the I.E.P.

    The primary and intermediate self-contained classes offer a smaller staff to pupil ratio.  The special education teacher implements the goals, objectives and strategies as outlined in their students’ I.E.Ps.

    All of these programs are designed to offer opportunities for individual growth and academic success.
