This course will serve as a study class that will fuse together skills-based curriculum and core content support (ELA, Science, Math, Social Studies). Multiple study and life skills will be taught and utilized in the Study Skills class and they will be directly applied to the student’s core content classes and their life outside of the school. Students will develop competency in themselves through self-advocacy, executive functioning and communication. From here, students will develop skills to be aware of who they are and what their IEP means for them and the teachers they will have in their core content classes. In this class, students will provided with opportunities for personal growth, as well as, growth in core content classes through multiple days of independent work and study time. Specific days will be set aside for core content classes. Monday and Tuesday will have students focused on ELA and Social Studies. Wednesday and Thursday will have students focused on Science and Math. Also, Study Skills will be broken up into various units in order to develop the skills mentioned earlier. These study skills will be taught on Fridays and reinforced on Mondays. Mondays will also have a small focus in organizational skills, such as agendas and class grades tracking.
